I can't cancel the list of documents in the print queue

Hi RuthSmith57,

(1) do you get an error message when you try to cancel the list of documents in the print queue of the printer?

(2) what is the number of brand and model of your printer?

(3) how long have you had this problem?

Method 1: First, restart the computer and check the print queue.

After the computer restarts, double-click the printer icon in the lower right corner (notification area) of the computer. Now, check the print queue.

Method 2: Run the Fixit available in the link below:

  • all-in-one Officejet 4215: cannot clear the printer queue in Windows 8.1

    (Sorry if I am double-posting.  "I'm familiar with the operation of the forums.)

    I have a new computer with windows 8.1 and a HP officejet 4215.  I followed the HP instructions to install the downloaded software of the printer and it says to test the printing: pqtestpage.png - it is now stuck in the print queue and will not erase, if it says it is deleting.  I tried to fix it and he just keeps showing me the same problem.  Can anyone help (I desperately need to do my taxes.)  Thank you.

    Take a look at this link from HP.

  • Cannot clear the print queue

    I have the HP Photosmart all-in-One Printer C308g and tried to print a document yesterday evening.  It was the answer.  Then I tried to erase the doc and he said "deletion" - which was at 23:32 (EST) last night.  Since this same minute (11 a.m., EST) the doc shows again that "suppression".  I tried several times to cancel the doc.  I even off the printer, unplug the unit and still nothing.  I closed on my laptop then restarted it and tried to print again, but the original work was still in the queue.  Please if anyone has an answer to my dilemma, I would greatly appreciate your help.

    Hello

    In Control Panel, open administrative tools and select abuse.  Scroll down to the print spooler service, right click and select Properties, then click the Stop button.  Now search for C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS, then delete the work inside this folder - you may need to click a command prompt to get the authority to open the PRINTERS folder.

    Restart the computer and you should find that the document has been deleted.

    Kind regards

  • 5610 cannot clear the print queue, will not print

    Windows 7

    Works very well, then work has been "caught" in the queue. I can't print and I can't delete the job.

    Windows troubleshooting tool said he found a print job in the queue that prevents other print jobs and that fixed the problem, but it has not fixed the problem. If I run againî, I get the same message. Diagnosis seems correct, but just what he thinks he's doing to solve the problem does not work.

    I tried the printer doctor, but even if she sees the printer it does not move to fashion, we're going to fix things.

    Manually, I went to "Cancel all Documets" but that the command was not enabled even if the printer displays the items in its queue.

    I went on the ' record of spooling "in the System 32 directory and it was empty.

    Thanks for your reply. I had who tried once or twice before posting and it has not fixed the problem.

    What I didn't know (and did not appear in the online resources I checked) that the document was in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS directory on ANOTHER computer - hosting the network printer.  Once I found that crime files it I deleted the manually and solved the problem.

  • 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.

  • Windows cannot recognize the printer after the print job is canceled

    When I installed my printer Epson XP - 410 on my laptop Windows 7, the installation of program established three identical icons in the box "Show hidden icons" system tray, a 'Epson XP-410 series named' and others adding "(Copy 1) and (copy 2) that." It was not critical until today when I ran in the paper and cancelled the print job. Now rather than see the icon for XP - 410 as before, Windows Live Photo Gallery is only to see the icon (copy 2) and the properties of the printer selection under print settings is looking for a printer that does not exist, say is not ready, showing without ink, etc..  Anyone know how I can get Windows to recognize the printer that is there instead of look for one that is not there? I tried to customize under Show hidden icons, but when I change the status of the any icons, they change all three at once. Any help would be so appreciated...

    Hi Robert,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    1. What is the exact error message you get when you give the print command?
    2. You have related driver printer disks to install the printer?

    The question may arise if the package of printer from the printer model driver is either not installed correctly or has been corrupted.

    In order to diagnose and solve the problem, I would say, try the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Run the printer Troubleshooter and check if that helps. He made sure that a printer is connected to your computer, and it checks for common issues such as whether the printer has enough paper and toner to complete printing your document.

    Open the printer Troubleshooter

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    Try to uninstall and reinstall the last full have printer drivers and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1: Uninstall the printer drivers installed in the system

    • Open programs and features, click Start > Control Panel > programs and features.
    • Find and select Epson printer drivers in the list of programs.
    • Click Uninstall and follow the instructions on the screen.
    • Reboot your system.

    Step 2: Reinstall the printer drivers

    Reinstall the latest drivers at the following link that is compatible with Windows 7.

    Epson XP-410

    Hi John - thank you for your response. For the benefit of someone else who has this problem, I was able to perform a miracle. Went to Start - devices and printers, found three printers instead of one year, removed the two copies and who has also removed the two unwanted icons in the systray. Now, everything's fine. Hope this helps someone.  Thank you, Christian...

  • 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.

  • Printing problems with XP and Lexmark-documents are just stuck in the print queue

    Original title: printing problems with XP and Lexmark

    Until yesterday, I was able to print OK using Windows XP and a Lexmark Printer series 3500-4500 with wireless capabilities.  Reported network test wireless (on printer) and report indicates that there are no reported problem, also did the diagnostic test and which shows no problem either.  I can't print and documents are just stuck in the print queue - please can someone help, it drives me crazy because it's probably a very simple solution.

    I guess you do not have all of the error messages.

    It is possible that comes to mind that your printer has received a new IP address of your router (this could easily happen if you have several computers and other devices that connect to your wireless network).

    Find the IP address of the printer of his network diagnostic page.
    Click Start > printers and faxes, right-click the printer and select Properties
    Select the Ports tab, then click on the button "Configure Port" (be careful NOT to click anywhere in the list of ports)
    Make sure that the IP address in 'Port settings' is identical to that shown on the diagnosis of your network printer page.

    To avoid this problem in the future, you must configure the printer to have a static IP address.  See your printer User Guide for instructions.

    Choose an appropriate subnet address (i.e., has the first 3 groups of numbers the same as the other addresses in your network) but who is not in the range of addresses assigned by the DHCP server on your router.  See the User Guide of your router for more details.
