Everytime i switch on my pc, my HP4355 Printer immediately starts to process an old print job...how can i cancell this

The best thing to do is do a memory reset. But this could also clear pages and formats, user defined characters and fonts, configurations,tables,or all of these parameters.

To reset memory
1.Turn off the printer.
2. Set the DIP switches to reset a portion.
3. Press and hold the Feed/Pause button while turning on the printer. The printer prints out a hardware configuration test label.
4. Hold the Feed/Pause button for 1 second. The printer resets a portion or all of its memory.
5. To exit test and Service mode, turn off the printer.
6. Reset the DIP switches to their original setting and then turn on the printer.

That should do the trick.

Next Time remove the Printer power cable, then unplug it from your PC, restart the printer. then Check all the process again try printing a page then on the bottom right of your task bar (start up) you will see a printer icon, double click to open and then delete the printing
NOTE: it is better to cancel printing from the Printer itself and Delete printing from the PC, because before the PC sends a cancel command to the Printer the document would have finished Spooling at this point the printer does not need the PC to print

1st you cancel all the print jobs from the pc .
In run window type services.msc and the go to print spooler option just stop and restart the service. and also switch off and switch on the printer and try to cancel all the documents form print spooler it will remove all pending jobs.

Be sure that there are no jobs in the print queue...

if there are any jobs....cancel them....

then try to switch on the printer ...

Disconnect printer cable from PC. Power off printer and unplug power cord from outlet. Wait 15 seconds. Press the power button as if to turn on with unit still unplugged. Plug back into outlet and turn on printer.

Before reconnecting to PC, check the printer's queue status. Start, Control Panel, Printers. Select the printer by double clicking to open queue status. Select any remaining documents and choose cancel from document menu bar.

It will start the process of deleting just wait for few seconds switch on the printer and once more select delete by right clicking. once more switch off the printer and now it will be ready for use.

Clear the print queue by double clicking the printer icon in the Printers and Faxes folder and power off and unplug the printer power cord. Remove the paper from the tray and power the printer back on if it attempt to print again repeat the process until the memory is cleared.

How to force delete print jobs Fortunately, there is a way to delete the hung print job without having to save all your work, close all your applications, and restart your computer. Here's how (note that this is intended for Windows XP systems, but a similar approach works on other systems - if this doesn't work for you reply below with your Operating System and version):

• Browse to Start -> Run... and type in "NET STOP SPOOLER" (this will stop the print spooler service)
• 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.
• Browse to Start -> Run... and type in "NET START SPOOLER" (this will restart the print spooler service)
• Double click the printer icon in the lower-right corner of your taskbar to examine your print job queue and browse to View -> Refresh.

Voila :) You should see that annoying hung print job finally disappear completely and you should now be able to resume printing without having to restart your computer.
