Note: we encountered this problem earlier today but forgot to take a screenshot of the document stuck in print queue windows 10 print queue with a stuck job, so we substituted with a picture of a regular job sitting in the queue.

Clearing a Stuck Print Job in Windows The first thing you’re going to want to do is open up Services through the start menu search, find Print Spooler in the list, and click the Stop button. Now open up Windows Explorer and put this into the location bar: %windir%\System32\spool\PRINTERS You might be print job won't delete windows 10 prompted for UAC to allow access to the folder, which you’ll want to accept. Now you’ll see a bunch of files in the folder, and you’re going to want to delete all of them. Don’t delete the PRINTERS folder itself, just the files.

Printer Queue Stuck
going on for way too long. It's been happening with XP and now Vista. It happens with several different printers from several different manufacturers. It http://www.howtogeek.com/100358/how-to-cancel-or-delete-a-stuck-print-job-in-the-windows-print-queue/ happens most recently with my Lexmark Vista compat. printer.Print jobs won't print; but, when you try to delete the print job, it just stays there. Cancel does nothing. Delete does nothing. Stopping the spooler via services does nothing. Powering off the printer then re-powering does nothing. Rebooting does nothing. After everything...still...."1 https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/2d7f6282-3f20-43ff-a897-26db99585c1f/print-jobs-stuckwont-cancelwont-delete-?forum=itprovistaprinting document pending". It won't go away. The only way to fix it is to delete the printer and re-install. This is getting really flippin' old!There are about 42,500 web pages about this problem, yet Microsoft seems to know nothing of it? Yea right. Is there a REAL solution to this problem?....or must I just go buy a computer with a real OS??

in Windows Have you ever run into the situation where you sent a job to the printer, but it just refused to print? You check the print job queue and everything looks fine, but nothing is happening? So either nothing happens or the print job ends up failing and http://helpdeskgeek.com/networking/cannot-delete-print-job/ USUALLY just goes away. If not, you then have to go into the print job queue and manually delete the print job, otherwise it will hold up all the new jobs coming to the printer. However, there are those few print jobs http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=content&id=HO3144 that really mess with you and simply refuse to delete! You Cancel, Delete, Remove the print job, yet it still remains in the queue. If you cannot delete a print job in Windows, you have to completely stop the print spooler service, windows 10 delete the print job, and then restart the service. Note that when you stop the print spooler service and delete the print jobs, you will have to delete ALL of the current print jobs as there is no way to tell one print job from another. Step 1: First go to Start, then Run and type in services.msc. Scroll down to the Print Spooler service, right-click on it and choose Stop. Step 2: Now that the print spooler service is stopped, we have print queue windows to go into the Windows folder where all of the print jobs are spooled and delete them. Navigate to the following directory: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS And delete everything inside this folder. DO not delete the folder itself, just everything inside of it. This will remove all print jobs currently in the print queue. Step 3: Now go back to the Services window and right click on the Print Spooler service and choose Start. Go back to the Print Job queue and refresh it. You should now see that all print jobs have been removed and you can start printing again normally. If you have a very important print job that is already in the queue behind the print job that failed, then deleting all of the jobs may not be an option for you. In that case, you can actually transfer the print queue to another printer and let it print out all the rest of the jobs in the queue. I will write another post on how to do that soon. Enjoy!
