I have the lexmark x1270. When a prit job is cancelled, it does not fully cancel and I cannot print the next job. I tried to uninstall it, but I couldn't because a message keeps coming up to wait for the printer to finish..

Please try this approach:

1. Browse to Start -> Run... and type in NET STOP SPOOLER (this will stop the print spooler service)
2. Browse to your windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ folder. You should see files there ending in .SPL and .SHD created around the time you tried to print - delete these files.
3. Browse to Start -> Run... and type in NET START SPOOLER (this will restart the print spooler service)

Try to print a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.

This could be a printer driver issue. Uninstall the existing Lexmark X1270 printer driver on your computer. Please follow steps below:

1. Go to Start menu.
2. Go to Programs.
3. Go to Lexmark 1200 Series folder.
4. Go to Tools.
5. Click Uninstall.
6. After the uninstall process, reboot pc when prompted.

When your pc turns on, check if it's running on 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. Go to Start menu > right-click on Computer > click Properties. Take note of the System Type.

Hello, Skellycj

What you can do is unplug the printer from the power outlet and let it sit whilst deleting the jobs from the print queue on the PC.

On a windows machine you want to got to START, Control panel, Under printers, open up the printer and click on each task and delete or cancel, then reboot the computer.

This will ensure there is nothing in the printer queue and the printer stops printing tasks. I hope this helps you, we do hope you leave positive feedback and ratings for your free answer today.

To clear the print queue, you may refer to the steps below:


I hope this helps. Thanks.

The printer is waiting until a print timeout occurs, or until it receives additional data.

• Press Continue (>) to print the contents of the print buffer.
• Press and release Cancel (x) to cancel the print job.
• Press and hold Cancel (x) to reset the printer.

Yes simply disconnect the printer and delete cancel the print job again. Then simply reconnect the printer. This is a common event.

check it if u have downloaded proper driver. then unplug all the printer cables...uninstall drivers and then try to install properly

If you click on the printer icon (bottom right) of your screen and look at the print queue you should be able to stop printing and cancel the print job or all the print jobs in the print queue.

Don

start --> run --> services.msc

press enter / click on ok

scroll down to print spooler and right click on it and click on restart and then go back into printers and faxes and right click on printer and cancel all documents or delete the print job

If that fails to work you may need to use the utility that came with your printer to cancel it - short of that you can just turn the printer off for about 5 seconds and back on.
