Hi,
From the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and select Sevices.  Browse down to the print spooler service, right click it and select Properties then click on the Stop button.  Now browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS and delete the job inside this folder - You may need to click a prompt to gain the appropriate authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
Restart the computer and you should find the document(s) have been removed.
Regards,

  • Officejet Pro 8600 - Can't remove canceled job from print queue

    Hi there
    I canceled a print job from the print queue, but it refuses to budge! Everytime I try to remove it, I get this message:
    I can print other documents, but it's very irritating having this here all the time (and a big red blob on my dock icon announcing a phantom print job).
    Can anyone help me rid myself of this spectre of print purgatory?
    Cheers!

    Try downloading and running the HP Print and Scan doctor. This software is able to remove phantom print jobs for you automatically. The program can be downloaded from here.
    As well, for Windows based computers, restarting the computer can also help with this issue oftentimes. Hope this helps.

  • Cannot clear a document from printer queue, and it is preventing printing, i have rebooted

    HP G72 notebook printer
    Wifi networked to Lexmark Pro 205 printer
    I have a document which is stuck in the print queue and will not cancel and remove. I have rebooted the computer three times, the printer three times and the network. It is blocking printing by the printer.
    How do I remove and clear the queue?

    Hi this might work as well
    1. Click start and go to the control panel and next go to printers.
    2. Doubleclick your printer icon.
    3. In the new screen click on the word printer in the top left corner en set a check mark with "use printer offline".
    4. Disconnect the unit from the computer.
    5. Click on the word printer again in the top left corner and choose "cancel all printjobs". Wait until this happens.
    6. If this not happens restart your computer and check if the printjob is gone now. If it does happen skip step 6.
    7. If the printjob is gone reconnect your printer and click printer in the top left corner again and remove the check mark with "use printer offline".
    8. Try printing.

  • Can't delete job from print queue

    HP Deskjet 6940. Usually faultless but it now has a print job shown as 'held' in the print queue but which it actually printed successfully four days ago - and it simply won't delete it. Delete button does nothing, 'hold' and 'resume' buttons grayed out. Is there some way I can delete it manually via the Finder?

    happy to help

  • Random jobs stopping print queue

    I have 3 printers attached to my iMac via a USB hub, a canon i9100, an epson SP 220 and an epson SP 1800. I have experienced this with all of the printers, so I don't believe it is a problem with the printer software.
    Most of the time everything works perfectly. But approximately 10% of the time the document will just not print. I thought it might be something to do with InDesign, since 99% of the documents I print are from InDesign, but I have experienced the problem with TextEdit files, emails, web pages (camino and safari).
    There doesn't seem to be any particular cause. The job will queue up, and then all the sudden the printer will stop all jobs. The only way to get them started is to delete the job from the queue. The strangest part is that SOMETIMES reprinting the document will work fine, while other times it just continues to stop the print queue.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Or is it just a ghost in my machine.
    iMac 17 1GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    It's possible that you have a corrupt font. That will stop a printer. Check the fonts you are using in a document that's causing problems, and maybe change the font, and see if it works. It's easier if you have a font check utility like suitcase.
    If you dont, maybe figure out what page of a document is causing the printer to stop. That will narrow the search.

  • Deleteing report jobs from the queue

    OAS 9.0.2.0.0 on Win2K-sp4, Client Win2K-sp4.
    Many's the time a report job will hang up in the queue preventing other jobs from printing. Using the OEM, I can usually delete all the jobs, except the one that is "active, the one that is hanging up the queue. It always gives me an authentication error. I have tried every login/pw combo I can think of without success. I am always forced to restart OC4J_BI_Forms to dump the queue. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the input.
    What I have done is create a new reports server/queue from the command line. It runs as a Windows process and can be restarted from there. Clunky, but I don't have to kill Forms everytime there's a queue hang up.

    I cannot remove the dialog box from my ipad. it says 'not enough storage'. I click on settings and close but still there. How can i remove this message? Thnx

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Stop a job from printing

    Hope Experts how are you today?
             One of our users created a job SD_203_Z_AUTO_DEL.  Everytime this jobs runs it prints out. She would like to stop this job from printing. Is there anything in SM37 job overview that I need to change. If not in SM37 than were do I go. I see that SU01 under Spool Control OutputDevice is QU6, but if I change this than she won't be able to print anything. Sorry for the novice question. I don't spend alot of time in SAP these days........   

    Using transaction SM37, you can select the job from the list and select Job -> Change from the menu.  Select the Step button, which will list the steps in the job.  Select the step (program) that creates the output and select Step -> Change from the menu.  There should be a Print Specifications button at the bottom of the screen.  Select this button and then select the Properties button.  Change the Time of Printing to 'Send to SAP spool' and save all of your entries.

  • Can I cancel mail job from SOST queue and make its status to be error or red

    Hi,
    I recently (over this past summer) updated my phone and plan with Verizon.  I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and I got the phone in Pittsburgh.  It is a Droid Eris and very nice.  I got it and a month later I moved to Olympia, Washington for school.  Since moving there, I have hardly been able to use it.  The service is terrible and its been impossible to keep in touch with my family, I wasn't even able to call them over Thanksgiving.  I'm also having to pay extra money so I can use the internet on my phone, but I can't even access the internet let alone make phone calls.  It's really frustrating.  I can't use my phone to keep in touch with everyone in Pittsburgh-and if I am ever in trouble I wouldn't be able to call for help, which makes me really nervous.  Is there a way I can cancel my 2yr contract?  Yes.  Just visit a Verizon store, or dial *611 from your phone and let them know you would like to cancel your account.  Would I have to pay a fee-and how much would that cost? Yes, Verizon no longer waives ETFs due to moving to an area without service, so you will probably have to pay an Early Termination Fee.  Since you have a smartphone, it will probably be $350 less $10 for each month of service you have completed.  The Customer Service rep you contact about cancelling will be able to tell you the exact amount.  Would I have to go to the Verizon store I bought the phone from to do this or would I have to do this in Washington-where I am now living and having the problems? You can do it over the phone, or at a corporate Verizon store.  Help!

  • How to remove the first number from a queue?

    Hi,
    I am trying to implement the following code for a queue. I've made an attempt on the RemoveFromQueue method, but it doesn't seem to work. How would i correctly be able the method for it to be able to remove the first number from the queue? thanks.
      if (q.QueueIsEmpty())
            System.out.println("Queue empty");
      else
             int firstEntry = q.RemoveFromQueue();     
                  System.out.println("Integer extracted  : "  + firstEntry);
    int RemoveFromQueue ()
             if (QueueIsEmpty())
                   return false;
             else
                  for(i=1; i <= total; i++)
                        Queue[i-1] = Queue;
                         total--;
                         return -1;
    }

    int RemoveFromQueue ()
    if (QueueIsEmpty())
    return false;
         else
         for(i=1; i <= total; i++)
         Queue[i-1] = Queue;
         total--;
         return -1;
    }Here we go:
    1) if the queue is empty you attempt to return 'false' while the method itself is
    supposed to return an int.
    2) you attempt to assign an entire queue to a single queue element.
    3) your indentation is a mess.
    4) why do you test for an empty queue outside of that method?
    5) use pencil and paper and scribble down exactly what you want to do.
    6) don't use initial uppercase letters for method names.
    kind regards,
    Jos

    How did the photos/albums get onto the phone ?
    Only photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the phone - either via the trashcan icon at the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it top right in thumbnail view. Albums that you've created directly on the phone can be deleted via the Edit button at the top right of the album selection screen.
    Photos/albums that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing

  • How to share 10.6 OSX Server print queue with Windows 7 successfully?

    I used Bonjour Print Services for a Windows 7 machine (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl999) to successfully connect to a Mac OX Server 10.6 print queue, and the following message is generated in the print log and CUPS log,
    "POST/printers/stormoncecar/ HTTP/ 1.1" 200 2205 Print-Job Successful-OK
    There are no errors, however, nothing comes out of the printer.  It works for all the Mac OS Client machines, but not for any of the Windows 7 machines.

  • Blackmagic removed desktop audio functionality from Declink cards on Windows.... now what?

    So, Blackmagic removed desktop audio functionality from Declink cards on Windows.... now what? After Effects is not programmed to talk to Decklink cards directly on the audio part, there is no ASIO, or mercury playback for the audio part, Blackmagic says it was never intended to be used as an audio card, yet up to last version of version 9 provided an audio driver for it, as a result, now any application not written to talk to the Decklink card directly, can't use the card for audio playback. I'm wondering if they think that the people that uses After Effects don't need audio at all....   rewiring all the rooms in  the post productions facilities that had all the audio of all the system going out via the decklink cards it is not an option.
    I'm wondering if Adobe is aware of this and if it have plans to support direct connection to the Decklink cards on the audio side of After Effects. This is a huge problem for all the people that uses AE and Decklink on windows and wants a profesiona quality audio monitoring.  Audition, Premiere, all of those can work now, but not AE. I remember some time ago AE used to support ASIO, but I do not see that option anymore.

    Adobe talks with Blackmagic regularly and we were recently made aware of this change. It is, clearly, not something under our control but we can provide feedback to them about your responses to the change.
    You are correct, After Effects does not play back audio through Mercury Transmit like Premiere Pro does. This was something we considered for After Effects CC 2014 (CC), but at the time we were developing this release there was no urgent need to do so, and this would require significant work to re-wire how After Effects plays back audio. We will continue to talk with Blackmagic and evaluate what the best plan is going forward.
    Please don't hesitate to file feature requests for us about these issues: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
