1 document stuck in que

Hello,

If a print job get hung up in the print que it may stop and not be able to be deleted, this will also block other print jobs from printing. Here is a link to an article that shows how to clear the print que and purge the stuck print jobs so printing can resume. I hope it helps.

Hello,

If you have Windows OS, try this:

Clear Printer Spooler files and enable the Spooler service.

a. Click Start, type "services.msc" (without quotes) and press Enter.

b. Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.

c. Click Stop and click OK.

d. Click Start, type "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers" (without quotes) in the search box and press Enter. In the open window, and delete all files in this folder.

e. Now, go to “Services” again. Double-click "Printer Spooler".

f. On the General tab, next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.

g. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Start, and then click OK.

Hi,
Go to your search programs and files box in the start menu and type in services when you open services scroll down to Print Spoolers double click and you will see service status started hit the key that says stop after it stops hit OK to close it and reopen Print Spoolers and click open tab and then hit OK to close then close services box and you should be able to print again.
Good Luck

Open the Print Que and see if it will let you pause the print job. Then close the que and turn the printer off. Open the print que again and see if it will let you delete it. For some reason every now and again a que will hang. This process should reset the que. It will dump everything in printer memory and should release the document to delete the job. In any event pausing the job should release the printer to print other jobs.

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.

You must clear the que.

You should be able to download the print driver. Id try clearing the que first. do the three finger wave if necessary to find the process - terminate it - then reopen the que - see if the document is gone.

Unplug your printer - ower and signal ... go get a soda . when you get back plug the stuff back in ... remember - shut the stuff off first!

I hope this helps
