How to clear the printer queue?

SOURCE: HP Deskjet 3845 print queue not clearing

Have you tried going to safe mode, turning off the printer and manually opening it at the control panel>printers... try and delete or cancel prinitng at these settings...

SOURCE: unable to clear printer queue

I had a related problem. Couldn't delete a job from the queue nohow. I wound up deleting various processes (CTRL ALT DEL PROCESSES tab) and it cleared it.

hi,

you need to delete the jobs and print the stuffs...

you need to give the following commands in the command promt which can be accessed from the start menu or by clicking "windows key+r"

net stop "print spooler"
to stop the print spooler

after you have stoped the print spooler
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.

now try to print the stuffs..

if it clears the mess please give a vote....
