How to clear completed print jobs in Leopard?

It is possible to clear completed print jobs in Tiger but I couldn't find it in Leopard now. I have a DELL 5100.

I have the same problem here. Sure you can use the "hide completed jobs" but that's not the point. The Delete job menu selection should do what it says it will but it doesn't.
Everyone has this problem. The workarounds given above are exactly that, workarounds.
This is a bug. If you say delete something and nothing happens (not even a warning telling you that you can't delete this item) then it's a bug.
OK, it's a bug. No one disputes that the Delete button not working is a bug.
As for going into the CUPS admin interface, that is way over what a general user should have to do. I know how to do that, but the point of using a Mac is that I shouldn't have to do such things.
This is debatable, but what's wrong with learning something new and having another workaround until Apple gets around to fixing this?
This needs to be fixed.
Submit feedback to Apple about this issue, but they are probably already aware of it since it has come up before.

Deleting Completed Print Jobs in Mac OS X 10.8 ?

How can the job list of completed print jobs be deleted ?
The job list fills up with lots of completed and canceled (a 10.7./10.8 bug) jobs and many jobs are added multiple times after a time in the list untill closed and reopened again.
This makes it nearly impossible to find a specific job.
Thanks.

This isn't really a good solution, but the only way I found was to delete and re-add the printer. I didn't see anything obvious in the prefs files. Maybe send feedback to Apple about this?

How to cancel a print job in progress

I have a HP C5580. When i was using Windows ME on my former PC, I could easily go to Printers, select the 5580, hit documents in queue, and hit cancel , and the printer stopped.
Got a new Compaq PC with Windows 7, and I can't figure out how to cancel a print job mid stream. I go to Printers and Devices, giet the page that allows me to view the print jobs in queue, I hit "print job in process", but the "Cancel" is not in bold print and I can'tfind any other way to cancel the job.
Help !

The easiest way to cancel a print job would be by pressing the cancle button on the front panel. This is the "X" button near the right side of the control panel, see pages 10 and 11 of the user manual here.

I have an iMac, where are the completed print jobs stored on the iMac and what format are they?

I have an iMac, where are the completed print jobs stored on the iMac and what format are they?
My OSX is 10.10.1

Hi
If you are using standard system or HP drivers, than the jobs contents are not saved at all.
You can see the list of completed jobs per printer via this URL: http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/
If you want to save a print job, you can do it in the print dialog, by selecting an action prom "PDF" popup.
It allows to save a job (prior or instead to printing it) as PDF or PostScript.

How to comand de print job to initiate from diferent positions?

Hy folks,
I have a problem about how to print labels, more specifically how to comand the print job to initiate from diferent positions of the continuous forms paper.
See what I meen:
I have a label continuous forms paper with 2 colunns x 3 lines, six positions, to print from de right to the left and them downward, ok?!
I need to know a way to start the print from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th (or even from 2nd ou 3rd line). Only by this way, the print would respect the layout and the line break between pages. The manual set of this positon at the printer is not acceptable to my client.
See, I'm just starting to use Crystal and its tools, so I don´t know even it is possible to do, but I've heard that is possible!
Can you help me with this issue?
Thaks for the attention

How can I delete printed job list Delete jobs grayed

How can I delete printed job list Delete jobs grayed

Apple lets you see a list of what is printed out but there is no way to erase the list and mine is two years of all that printed out. I want to erase it but there is no place to get rid of the list or the items on it. Epson said it was an Apple problem. Apple doesn't seem to know the answer. You can only delete jobs when it is not grayed out and it is usually for those you have not printed . I am hoping someone can figure it out.

How to schedule a print job in Lion.

I had snow leopard and when I upgraded to lion I can't figure out how to schedule print jobs. I use to be able to do work at night. Then print in the morning so I wouldnt disturb anyones sleep. How do I do it with Lion?

I have to agree that it's lame not having the Scheduled Printing as an option. I will reiterate that I too enjoyed "completing" a task to print in the morning in order to not disturb others while sleeping.
I've already sent Apple some Feedback. Hope it works and we can bring back this efficient option.
Here's the link to the Mac OS X Feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

PSC 1350 all-in-one not completing print jobs wirelessly with windows 7 64 bit

I have a acer 5542 running windows 7 (64bit), connected wirelessly to an Orange Livebox hub, to which my HP PSC 1350 printer is connected (via USB cable) therefore using the Livebox as a USB printer server. This configuration has worked very well for my 2 XP laptops for the past year or two. I set up the printer on the windows 7 laptop by connecting it directly, via the USB cable, letting windows install it, and download the latest drivers, (although HP say they have no specific 64bit drivers for this printer, but the drivers they have, and that windows downloaded, work fine!) then i changed the port to the livebox ip address.
All this worked fine (as on the xp machines), I printed out a spreadsheet, which worked fine untill it approached the end of the page, then just stopped. I troubleshot the printer which didnt return any sprcifics, Just that the print job had failed, and that it had rectified the problem, then the printer starts reprinting the same document, to the same point, (about 95% complete) and again stalls, and so the cycle continues. I have tried it with various different documents and photos, to the same ends. But if i connect the laptop directly to the printer, via USB, it completes the jobs fine
I have posted on microsoft answers forums, but the one answer i have recieved (re installing everything) did not solve the problem. Although i am not too savvy on computers, i kind of get the feeling it is a spooling issue. (not processing or holding onto the last part of a print file! But its only a feeling!)
any help would be very much appreciated

Hi there,
I understand you're looking for drivers for your PSC 1210 on Windows 7. I will certainly do my best to guide you in this issue.
At this time there are no HP drivers available for this printer for Windows 7. You can still use the printer with Windows 7, you will just have to use the drivers available within Windows 7. That document will walk you through what you need to do in order to get printing again, and will also show you how to scan with this Windows driver.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

Psc 950 won't complete print job

Printer intermittently produces partial print jobs, sometimes 3 lines, sometimes more or all. After clearing the error and cancelling the job, the behavior is still the same. Sometimes restarts and prints the complete job while ('m checking my email. I reinstalled the driver, get the same goofiness. (Windows 8 and Toshiba laptop.)

Hi @Bob-H,
Since there is not full feature software and driver, and you are using the Windows built in solution, we can't uninstall ad reinstall. We can however try an alternate print driver to see if you can print more constantly with a different driver.
To assign an alternate print driver in Windows 8:
Hold your mouse arrow in the lower right, or upper right, corner of the screen to bring up the Charms Bar. If you are using a touch screen, you can swipe your finger from the right side to the left.
Select the Search Charm.
Under the search box, click on Settings.
In the search box, type Devices.
Click on Devices and Printers.
Right-click on your printer.
Select Printer Properties.
Click on the Advanced tab.
Click on New Driver.
Click Next.
Select HP from the first list.
Select HP Deskjet PCL3 Class Driver from the second list. You can also use either the Photosmart PCL3 class Driver, Officejet PCL3 Class Driver, Deskjet 990c or Deskjet 450 driver.
Click Next.
Click Finish.
Click Apply to save the changes.
Click OK to close the window.

You can also try the Windows troubleshooter. A troubleshooter is an automated tool that can find and automatically fix some problems with your PC. The printing troubleshooter can fix problems with installing and connecting to a printer. (Fix printer problems)

Possible Solution to Problem of Clearing out Print Jobs From HP ePrint

I've been grappling for months trying to figure out how to clear print jobs on my HP ePrint printer (HP 6600). I stumbled on this by accident a few minutes ago and it worked, so I'm posting it here in case anyone else needs the info.
My PC runs Windows 8, so not sure how this will work on other platforms. Maybe others can add info pertinent to different platforms.
Open Control Panel.
Under Hardware and Sound, click the link to View Devices and Printers
There you should see the HP ePrint icon. If you have print jobs in there, it will say so.
Double-click on the HP ePrint icon, and you should see the jobs listed and be able to select and cancel them!
This was one of the most frustrating troubleshooting issues I've ever had to deal with. I'm so happy to have found the solution and couldn't wait to share it! Let me know if it works for others with this problem.

Welcome to the discussions. When you pulled the Battery it reset and this is the reason the Date and Time reset.
Normally when you have an issue as you describe it requires a PMU reset.

How do I purge print jobs on an officejet 4215 using windows 7 64 bit OS?

The all-in-one officejet 4215 will not print a print job nor will it delete the print job from the queue. I have uninstalled the printer and reinstalled, unpluged and disconnected from the network and nothing works.

Hi,
Please clarify your meaning "reinstalled" the printer - The driver for your printer already included within Windows7, any software you may use is not intended to Windows7.
May the stuck print job being printed upon restarting the PC?
If so, i would recomment you to try and disable the USB Ports power Management. It may cause connectivity issues with the LIDIL printing language being used by your printer:
Right click on Computer.
Click Manage.
Open the Device Manager from the left pane.
Locate the Universal Serial Bus Controller category, double click to expend it.
Locate the first USB Root Hub
Double click it, then click the Power Management tab.
Clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
Click OK.
Repeat steps 6 through 8 for each USB Root Hub listed in the Device Manager.
Now follow and check for any improvement.
Please let me know of any progress,
Shlomi

Where is the list of active and completed print jobs stored?

I am using an Apple LaserWriter 8500. Great network printer still.
In the printer window it has a list of jobs to be printed and another tab for jobs completed.
Where are these lists stored?

The hidden file /var/logs/cups/page_log contains some of this information. You can look at this log via the Console application in Utilities. However, it does not look like it contains all the data that you see in the print queue Active/Completed views.
Also, print jobs that are active are kept in the hidden folder /var/spool/cups/
Is there a particular job you are looking for?
