  • 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 print with hp psc 1350. Tried to delete the print queue and it just says: "delete."

    I tried to delete the queue for hours.  He says only: "delete."

    Hi Richard,

    You're probably on the right track. Try this:
    Type CMD in the search bar (startmenu) and right click on cmd.exe in the results. Now, click Run as administrator. At the opening of the CMD screen type:
    net stop spooler
    Then type:

    del/f C:\windows\system32\spool\printers\*.*

    And finally type:
    net start spooler
    (forgive me for stating a truism, but all three lines must be followed by an entry :)
    If you encounter this more then once, then you could save this in a batch file so you can just double-click the file to run the routine. That's how.
    Open Notepad and copy and paste below into Notepad.

    net stop spooler

    del/f C:\windows\system32\spool\printers\*.*
    net start spooler

    Now, save it as a .bat file.
    Must be run ad administrator when used.
    Good luck and we keep abreast.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot delete the printer from the "printers".

    OfficeJet 6500 a Plus.  Connected by cable to the xp machine.  Has been used in wireless mode successfully for more than a year of a machine Win 8. Some how it did not work, but I could not remove the window 'printer '. I had to download and reload the driver to use the printer.  But I can not yet remove the printer "old."   The new printer is named "HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z (network).  The old printer is called "HP7F8C60 (HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z). Can't use it or remove it. Thank you.

    Thank you for your quick response.  I could just delete it by clicking on delete.  I went through the following sequence messy and finally had success.

    I have a right-click on properties and tried each element. I got error on each of them, messages which are the most common response (80%), "printer can not be deleted. Double check the name, and make sure that the printer is connected to the network'.» Sometimes, I would get an error code. (Mentally I was not ready to dig that right now.)

    I could not change the name, or connect to any network. I tried for a half hour and failed several times on each of the elements. Then I clicked on 'Shortened' again (I don't know why!). This time, it reduces the number of points on the 'properties' of 10 points to 5 or 6. The item "Refresh" remained. I clicked "Refresh", and the printer has disappeared! I do not remember the sequence, or how many times I tried each item, but I have to hit the right combination and when, because the wrong printer icon has disappeared, and the good printer works.  Thanks for everyone's interest and help.
