I have a print job that says it is deleting in my printer que but cannot get rid of it. HELP
Try to power off your computer and printer and let it stay for 5 minutes. Then turn on your printer and computer to see if pending print jobs we're cancelled.
If the problem still there, you can kill the spool process running on your taskbar. Press control + alt +delete button to open the task bar and delete the process from the processes tab.
Microsoft has the help you need for this issue and I wont try to give you long and possibly misleading information on here.
It is a common problem but the answer is here
You need to refer to method "D" about half way down the page
Once you clear the print job check you dont have any extra printers installed as quite often happens in these situations. If you have then delete your extra printer installations.

I had the same problem with the Lexmark Z645 and Vista.
After a lot of effort I gave up and emailed Lexmark.
Their response was surprisingly helpful:
First download and run "CleanupUtility.exe" from: ftp://ftp.lexmark.com/driver/inkjet_drivers/Cleanup/
Then unplug the printer's USB cable and restart your PC.
Then download and run the printer's drivers/install program
for Vista, from: http://downloads.lexmark.com:/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:548:0:0&emeaframe=&fileID=10374&searchLang=en&searchLang=en&os_group=Windows%20Vista
Only plug the USB cable back in when the drivers/install
program tells you to.
After install, I think it asks for another reboot.
Then all should work fine.

Sounds like a problem with the spooler.
Try to bypass the spooler when printing by right clicking on your printer and select "properties"
Select the "advanced" tab and select "print directly to the printer".
Hoepfully this should take care of it.
