2130cn laser printer deleting job from queue

Give it a few minutes. Sometimes it takes awhile to delete the document.

If that fails, turn off the printer, wait a minute, then turn it back on. The document should be deleted.

What version of driver are you using? I've found that sometimes an older driver will work for the new computers. I'm noticing that Dell has their Open Manage Print Software that covers all the drivers that you would need. The thing is, there are also multiple versions (A08, A09) of that as well. I would try them

Sounds like you have print jobs stuck in the print queue. Try deleting all documents in the queue and resending print job. Some print drivers choak on PDF documents. Try updating the print driver by download it from the manufacturer.

Try deleting printer then re-installing printer and updating the print driver.

Hi, if showing, right click printer icon on bottom of screen. Menu if showing, click jobs waiting.

Right click on the work you wish to cancel, menu click delete, that should clear the box of the print job.

Alternative. Click Start/Printers & Devices/Right Click Default Printer/Click Properties/Click See Whats printing/Right click print job menu/Click dropdown Delete.

The reaason it keeps trying to print is because it's in the print queue on your network.
Have whoever sent this to the printer open the print queue and delete it.
Only the originator or the print queue admin can delete the job

No problem, it's with almost all printers in this "low" class.Always need to reboot the PC to delete documents in queue.The other way is waiting, but in some cases you will wait more than 10 mins.

Have you tried to stop the spooler service in services?

Option 1)
Click on start orb
Type in search window:
services.msc
click ok
Scroll down to Print spooler service and click on it in the right side window.
On the left side click stop the service and wait forthe process to stop .Do not close the window yet. You will have to restart it here later.
next delete the print job in the printer queue then restart the spooler service
Resubmit your new print job.

Option 2)
If that doesn't clear it, the next step would be to stop the spooler
service as stated above
Go into windows explorer
(Print job data is collected and stored in a spool file in the spooler folder.)

It is located in:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS

Your print job will show 2 files there Example below:
00002.SHD
00002.SPL

Delete the files located in there. There may be several of them depending apon how many print jobs you submitted. You will have to resubmit your print jobs all over again.
Next go back to services window and restart the spooler service

That will definitely fix it.

Hi,

Thanks for using FixYa!

Try to turn the printer off then restart or reboot your computer. Then pull up the print queue then delete the documents in queue. I hope this helps.

Have a wonderful day.
