• 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.

  I checked the print queue.  I tried to delete the document does not have several times without success.  There is no error message given.  The printer is just the print requests in the queue with answer oout.  Nothing will get the printer to answer.  Help, please.

  1. click on the Start button.

  2. right click "My computer" on the left side, then select 'manage '.

  3. click on "Continue" to popup security message that appears.

  4. in the middle pane of the window that opens, double click on "Services and Applications".

  5. double-click on 'Services '.

  6 scroll to find "print spooler".

  7. right click and select 'Restart' (Note: make sure that you have not opened during this operation the printer print queue window).

  You should now be able to delete the print job (or it may have been deleted automatically).

• HP Deskjet 3050 J611 series: I can't remove a document from the print queue

  My printer has an element 'stuck' in the print queue.  It got stuck when I accidentally turned off the computer until the print job has finished.  I use the "remote" printer, that is to say through the network. not with a printer cable.

  I tried to remove it, I went to the Control Panel, etc., I tried HP Support Assistant - nothing works.

  I tried to turn off the computer, printer and internet router for several minutes.

  The print queue of the printer says "delete", but it has been like that for 12 hours.

  I can not print anything else!

  Help, please!

  Yes, after the restart I had to go back in the case R Windows to run, and then in the print spooler and press start and the printer came back without the stuck paper.  Thank you very much!

• Example: Deskjet 3050 - J610: printer removes items in the print queue

  Please see problem posted on June 9, 2016 and thread support. Sorry, I don't know how to go on this subject but the problem that I've marked as being solved is no longer is. It it is possible to mark as resolved and to reopen the thread please let me know how and I would be glade to do. Essentially sent items to the queue printing are deleted until they can print. They show in the print queue and then are marked "delete." I ran Print ahd doctor Scan of my desktop PC, and he says that everything is OK with the printer. I can see what the ink levels in the printer, and it printed on the printer succcessfully diagnostic information when asked to do so. I can see all of the information on the model of the printer, the serial number etc. so it seems that the PC can see the printer. But it will not print emails or Word documents - while he has done it before. Problem seems to have started when I tried to scan a document in and it would not. Printer is connected wireless and has an IP address, it doesn't seem to be the firewall attached - I disabled the Anti Virus software and it will not print. It runs the Windows firewall good that cause issues? I disabled that too, but it did not help. I followed the intstructions given by Gemini02 a HP Support Agent and it seemed to solve the problem but it only did it once and then continued to remove items from the print queue. I also tried to turn off the printer and then the PC, left for a while and then restarted them and that seemed to work. He already showed the printer as offline and printing and scanning doctor fixed that but when I ran it but still it only printed once and then returned to the deletion of items in the print queue. Grateful for any advice anyone can offer please.

• Does not clear the print queue of the printer

  I use Peachtree Accounting to generate cheques to pay for my clients and my Versacheck print the checks on blank check stock. From the windows of the last update of the queue of the Versacheck printer does not clear after that the checks are printed. Therefore, I can't print checks for another company without having to restart my PC to delete the printer. This becomes a huge problem and I was not able to get any assistance on site.
