SOURCE: need to cancel a printing project

If you are using windows go to the start menu. Go to settings, printers and faxes. Open the printer window. Highlight the job and from the menu click on document and then clear. Reboot your printer and you should be good. If you cant clear the job disconnect the printer and try again. Rebooting will help the computer is all else fails.

SOURCE: printer stopped working

Turn printer on and off if that doesnt work then ust restart, sometimes things get stuck in the queue.

SOURCE: wont let me cancel a pending document

I used to have the same issue. It happened on five different occasions. I tired all kinds of steps to fix it and none worked. Finally, my daughter fixed it for me by accident. She tripped over the plug to the computer. After it restarted, I canceled the document, and it worked perfectly. After that, i knew what to do. Hope this helps@

SOURCE: HOW WILL I UNPAUSED MY PRINTER?

There should be a printer icon in the notification area. You can double-click on that to bring up the printer status. If the icon is not there, you can go to Start -> Control Panel -> Printers and double-click on your printer. The first item in the print queue should be listed as paused. Right-clock on it and select Resume from the context menu.
