• 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. I'd appreciate any help.

  Q: did you just install IE9?
  A: no I have not.

• 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 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.

• DeskJet 3050 J610 series: printer removes items in the print queue

  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.

  The PC can read information from the printer and print a diagnostic page, so mechanically, it seems fine.

  Grateful for any suggestions please.

  Thank you very much.

  • Printers, right-click on the printer and on the left, click printer properties. Then click the Security tab.
  • Select 'Creator owner' and check 'All' to enable "Print" and "Manage Documents". Also there is an option for everyone if you decide to choose this one also. Depending on whether you have settings of the user accounts on the computer.

• 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.
