  How to clear the print queue on printer HP 4620?

  Hello

  From the desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run window, type services.msc and press to enter.  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 documents have been deleted.

  Kind regards

• Clears the queue of the printer.

  My default printer is in the form of 'holding company '.  I tried to delete the print queue by clicking on cancel all and the message I got was that they system was DELETE which has been blocked in the queue.  After waiting all night and check this morning, the document was still DELETE.

  When you try to cancel the document, the system will not recognize the prompt to cancel.   It remains just delete.

  Am very frustrated and don't know what to do.  The printer will work fine if I could get this paged document 2 out of the queue.

  Thanks for any help.  Am at my wits end.  Too much time and effort has been wasted for a quick question.

  If you cannot cancel or delete queues priting then try to complete treat it via Control Panel then try the following:

  Unplug the printer from your pc and then try unistalling the software driver through Control Panel and then add/remove programs or Device Manager. then try to install it back again by connection with the printer or by using the manufacturer's cd! Make sure your windows is uptodate.

  If for some reason any installation failed or could not print check again then your printer for ink and paper, see if all are available and there is no flashing light.

  try turning off the printer, then turn on see if that helps.

  Check the Web site of the manufacturer for the software driver troubleshooting guide and more!

  Printer refuses to print despite printing and Scan Doctor saying it's very good.  Document appears very briefly in the print queue, and then disappears.  Printer has been reinstalled from the installation and the old version of the printer disc removed.  It is connected wireless.

• 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.

  Try to print again.

  Printer is on a network as follows:

  If you still have problems, and that the printer is on the network, check the Configuration Page to see if you have a valid IP address.

  If you have a valid IP address for the printer, then try and access the Web built-in to the printer server.
  Type the IP address in the address bar of your web browser. (Internet Explorer)

  Check the IP address on the computer to verify that it matches the IP address of the printer.
  Go to start, devices and printers, right click on the printer, go to the properties of the printer, some ports tab, click on configure port.
  If they don't match then close the Configure Port window and click on create a port and follow the instructions in the wizard.
