  • Printer cannot remove a document, and there is nothing to print

    I have a printer wireless 5520. A few days ago, I sent three documents to the printer. For some reason, they would not print, so I cancelled them. The first document illustrates the "removal" as the status, but it did not change after days of trying, he recognizes the new documents sent to the printer in the print queue, but that a single document is still "delete". I reinstalled the printer driver, thinking maybe that was the problem, but I am at a loss to know what to do. I am ready to return to the printer in the retail store and buy another brand. I had the same problem with my old HP Photosmart J6240 printer and I recall it was a real trial make it print. If someone has had this problem and how did you solve it. I'm at my wits end with the season of taxes here and I need to print!

    There are a few things you can try if you encounter a problem with documents stuck in the queue.

    (1) try to print HP and doctor Scan.  It is an automated tool provided by HP to help solve this type of problem.  The PSDR HP is able to erase, stuck in the queue and more.  The PSDR HP can be downloaded by clicking here.

    (2) in addition, we can try to turn off the printer and manually restart the print spooler service.

    Open the run the command on the PC

    * Type "Net Stop Spooler" and press ENTER to stop the spooler service

    * Open again the run command on the PC

    * Type "Net Start Spooler" and press ENTER to restart the spooler service

    * Once the spooler was restarted, and then try to restart the PC to see if the jobs disappeared.

    Let me know how it goes.

  • Cannot remove the document from the queue

    I deleted a print job, but I can't get out of the queue. I can't print anything now. How can I get rid of this document so I can use my printer?

    To clear the print queue, stop the print spooler service and delete all the pending print files.
        
    You cannot delete all print jobs in the queue so that the Print Spooler Service is running.
           
    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" 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...
        
    Then, delete all updates pending upward and forward to printing from XP.  If they do not print before, you will need to send the to the printer again.
        
    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.

  • LEARNING OF BATCH FILES AND WINDOWS CANNOT FIND ' C:\DOCUMENTS'__

    Technical info: Windows XP Pro SP 2. Microsft Office home and Student 2007. AVG Free 9.0.

    Hello

    I am trying to learn the basics of Batch files and am confused right now. I can get a. BAT file to produce a BACK screen and play with some commands, but when I try to get a. BAT file to open a MS Word 07 Doc I get the following message

    Windows cannot find 'C:\Documents '. It stops at Documents. When infact the entire address would include Documents\testdoc or something else. I use Notepad to write the. BAT files.

    If I go into the file target itself and copy and paste the address in XP search utility, it locates the file (with a full name), instantly. But if I do the same copy and paste, paste the address directly in. BAT file for example: C:\windows, DEPARTURE etc etc... It is just straight up with the above mentioned error message.

    All advice forge kindly appreciated. My ultimate goal is to learn how to create a Batch file that will erase the files in different directories about five or six on the click of a button.

    Thanks Mick.

    I'm not an expert in writing .bat files. If no one else is here, you should post on the MSDN forums or there may be a group of newsgroups for .bat file writing.
