Printer won't delete or cancel documents in queue.

Check the free disk space

and help of the printer and Mr. fixit, no solution

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.
Look for the Print Spooler Service, right-click and choose Stop Service.
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
Remove all queued print jobs from the PRINTERS folder (select and delete all the files) so the PRINTERS folder is without waiting for print jobs.
Restart your system to make sure everything is cleared up and that the Print Spooler Service restarts automatically on reboot.
Now that you know how to enter in the Services Applet, you can check and make sure that the column of the status of the Print Spooler Service is "started" and the folder where are going the spooling print jobs is really empty (until you print something else).

Do, or do not. There is no test.

I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • Printer won't delete/remove document

    I recently bought a new processor and now have developed a problem with my print.  The print job goes to my HP 3 in 1 and if I need to stop printing before completed and give the Undo command, the computer will always show the entire document rather than stop it.  How can I solve this problem?  Thank you

    When you cancel a print job from the computer, the computer no longer send data to the printer. Any data that has already been sent to the printer will always print. If you have a new computer, this can be processing print job and send to the printer faster than you are accustomed. To stop the printing of the data in the memory of the printer, press the button cancel on the printer itself.

  • HP 4500 cancels Documents Mid-Print

    Hello, I hope I'm not repost a question earlier, but I had little luck searching the forum.

    I have two HP Envy 4500 series printers, which are both on different networks, and both are cancel documents sent wireless before the documents completed printing. For my printer at home, the envy of 4501 more precisely, I am connected to a wireless network for home. For other printers, I use a 4500 envy which I use to print with Direct wireless option, so that I can limit the access of others (office at a University). At the same time I am experiencing that the printer will cancel printing workplace, apparently without reason. I had initially only problems with that set up through Direct wireless to school and thought that maybe I having me problems because the wireless connection seems a little fragile and sometimes be stupid by sending the print job, then change to my Internet above all accomplished, but I now also have the same problem on my home network which should be no interruption.

    I currently only have one of the (House) wireless printers connected to my computer, I have uninstalled and reinstalled software, but I still have this issue. I saw in another post the directions to try to add the IP address who uses the printer directly to the list of ports under "printer properties", but that did not solve my problem. It seems to me to get 3/4 of the way the task of printing (from Word) before it closes unexpectedly, goes 5 times now now.

    I use a Toshiba laptop running Windows 8.1, and the only error message I get is that the printer screen shows 'Cancellation', and a popup on my computer saying the document could not be printed. Has anyone seen a similar issue or give me any advice? Is there the potential for other drivers I need? I would be extremely grateful to stop wasting so much ink and paper!

    Is there other specification, that I need to provide?

    Thank you!

    Thank you for your help.

    The print and Scan Doctor found no problem, very well printed and I also created the static IP address, and made sure I did not use the "class driver" and still had the same problem.

    On a whim, I changed the parameter of queue under printer properties, and that seems to have solved the problem for now. I changed to "Start printing immediately" to "Start printing after the last page" and was able to print a document of 4 pages entirely. If all goes well, which continues to solve the problem.

    Thank you once again.

  • Epson 880 printer won't STOP PRINTING THE SAME DOCUMENT.

    How can I get my printer to stop printing the same document over and over again?

    Moved from feedback

    Original title: printer IS NOT STOP PRINTING THE SAME DOCUMENT.  I HAVE a COMPUTER WINDOWS 7 AND ONE PRINTER EPSON 880 and need to know how to stop it. print

    Hello Irene,.

    When the printer prints, you will see a small printer icon to the taskbar (lower-right). Click it and you'll see the files that are printing. If you view the document, please remove it from the print queue.

    If this is not enough, then proceed as follows.

    1. type Services.msc in the box Start of search and press on enter.

    2. Locate the print spooler and right click on the service and then click stop.

    3. when the Print Spooler service is stopped, go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\PRINTERS and delete all the files mentioned in the record. This will clear the current print jobs.

    4. once the files are deleted, return to the Services window and start the service print spooler.

    Hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let us know.

  • Want 4500: Print missing the top of the document

    Hello

    Here is the problem that I am facing. I have a document Word 2013 which is the A4 format. When I print the document on plain white paper it prints without a problem. However, when I print on paper (120 g/m²) Brown Buffalo output a mixed success.

    Sometimes, the impression is correct - yay

    Sometimes feel like missing the beginning of the document. In that the output will print the bottom half of the paper half top of paper. In addition, the amount of printing which is not respected by the top of the page is also intermittent. Sometimes it's a couple of cms, sometimes its a half page.

    My document is in the landscape. The document has no margins, but there is no printable data less than 10mm of the edge of the document.

    As printing is correct with the white paper and defective with the brown card, I can only assume the problem with the printer paper type and not the document or the configuration of handling.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Yes, understand you it correctly. The problem is the document management capabilities of the printer. According to the specifications of the HP Envy 4500, Max paper weight it can handle is 120 g/m². If you are using their HP Premium presentation paper, you can get better results. However, if you decide to continue using brown paper you have there, there a trick so that you can get better results.
