cancellation of a print queue

I have 4 documents waiting to print.  I want to cancel everything and start over.  'Help' is no help at all.

Click on the globe to start, then help, then search for help on printing. Here's what you get. If you find this too cumbersone then you can create a shortcut on the desktop that launches a script "purge."

  • cancellation of the print queue

    Each print request goes directly to the queue, cancelling all request printing used to solve the problem, but now it won't print at all. I went through all the procedures of mutual aid without result. I see no solution in response messages either. Arrived on a person must have the answer to this problem many of us have some.

    It seems that you have a problem with documents stuck in print queue and Printer Spooler.

    You can try a few steps. It would be to run the doctor print and scan. Here's a link to it.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03275041

    Another suggestion would be to STOP and RESTART your printer spooler.

    1. click on START MENU

    2 right CLICK on COMPUTER

    3. choose MANAGE

    4. select Services and Applications. Click on Services

    5 get off until Printer Spooler. Stop and restart.

    Let me know what is happening and if that helps.

  • Documents in the print queue will not cancel or print

    I tried all the usual cancel, delete, turn off the PC, turn the printer off, turn them both off the coast of all etc.

    Do or not.  There is no test.

    These directions will not work with Windows XP, but it's the right idea.

    She also leaves a file .cmd lingering somewhere on your system.

    I propose the following technique that works for all versions of Windows and will not let any .cmd persistent or other files on your system:

    First to clear the print queue, you have to stop the print spooler service, and then remove all the jobs/print files pending.
        
    You cannot delete all print jobs in queue so that the Print Spooler Service is running, so you have to stop first.
            
    To stop the Print Spooler Service, click Start, run and enter in the box:
            
    services.msc
            
    Click OK to open the Services Applet.
            
    Locate the Print Spooler Service, right click and choose 'Properties' and then click on the "Stop" button to stop the Print Spooler Service is running.
        
    The option "Startup Type" of Service properties print spooler is usually set to "Automatic" (which is now a good time to check it out).
        
    If the "Startup type" is not set to "Automatic", set the "Startup Type" field to "Automatic" If that is your desire (which now is the time to check it out).

    Do not try to start or restart the Print Spooler Service again...
        
    Next. remove all updates pending upward and forward to printing from XP.  If they do not print before, you will need to send them to the printer again once things are cleaned in service yet.
        
    Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
        
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
            
    Delete all the print jobs in queue (select and delete all the files) in the folder if the folder is without waiting for print jobs.  The folder must be empty when you are finished.
            
    Reboot your system and check the Print Spooler Service again to make sure the Print Spooler Service restarts automatically restart (given that the startup type is set to automatic).
        
    After the reboot, check again the spooler service for printing and the 'Status' column for the print spooler must be read "started."

    Submit new failure of print jobs.

  • Print queue hangs when I cancel any print jobs

    I use my Photosmart C309 all-in-one wireless printer. It prints very well until I have to cancel a print job. As soon as I cancel any job that is currently printing (in software or by pressing the button cancel on the printer) the print queue hangs up and working I tried to cancel everything is sitting there saying it is deleted, but it doesn't go away, and it keeps me print anything else.

    I found a way to erase pasted work and get the printer going again (using the option of troubleshooting under devices and printers), but surely, I should be able to cancel a print job — without blocking completely to the top of the queue?

    I've had the printer for a year now and it has always had this problem.

  • When I send a task to my printer queue says it is printing, but it is not

    original title: printer HP F2280 working from XPdesktop

    When I send a task to my printer queue says it is printing, but it is not.  Everything is connected and worked OK.  Now jobs just sat there and will not even to cancel.  Any suggestions?  I had the computer and printer works several times without success.

    It seems that something is "stuck" in the print queue, delete the queue.

    To remove the print queue:

    1. Stop the print spooler service.
    2. Remove all files in the \WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS folder
    3. Restart the print spooler service.

    You can do it at a command prompt or automate things with a batch file with the following commands:

    net stop Spooler
    del/q %SystemRoot%\system32\spool\printers\*.*
    net start Spooler

  • move the print queue to another printer

    I had not realized that I had not deleted an old printer that I did more.   By chance, something began to try

    to print on the old printer... is it possible to move from this queue and on another printer?

    I try not to have to remove the characters and cannot cancel the printer and delete it because it's

    I try to print so that it will not cancel or delete.   There should be a fairly easy way to simply move the print queue

    to another printer... It shouldn't be this hard... Thank you.

    The computer restarts or stop the spooler service in the services menu and then restarting it will remove the tasks in the queue. It isn't a way that I am aware of transfer a task in queue to another printer.
