Delete print job

After trying to print a file from internet the printer gets stuck and it is not possible to cancel the print job.
It can be cancelled only by disconnecting the USB cable.
If I copy the file to WORD then there is no printing problem.
Thanks, Bezalel

Hi,
You may give the HP Print and Scan Doctor a try by selecting Fix Printing, it should automatically clear any item within the print queue:

Cannot delete print job

One of my print job is on permanent "hold." The problem is I cannot delete it (neither from the toolbar nor menu), nor can I resume it. I just stays permanently at the top of the print queue. Even after restarting the computer, restarting the printer, it stays there. How can I delete it? Is there some terminal command or such that allows me to delete print jobs?
The printer is a HP J6480.
It's not a major issue, but irritating. I have set the printer icon to "auto quit," but it never quits due to the held job.

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.

Hi,
From the Desktop, hold down the Windows key and press R. Into the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter. 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 jobs 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 documents have been removed.

I need to know how to delete print jobs I don't want to

I have multiple print jobs that I no longer need to finish and I don't know how to delete them because when I cut it off it picks right back up where I left off and costing me too much paper

Hi,
I think you need to remove the queue. For Windows, please try:
    hold down the Windows key and press R.
    from the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter.
    if the machine asks for Admin you have to accept this,
    look down to the print spooler service, right click it and select properties
    click on the Stop button,
    browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\printers
    delete the job inside this folder
    reboot the machine

Deleting print jobs when finished

I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard, fully updated. When I create a pdf-file, the job of course is shown in the list of jobs for the "Adobe PDF"-printer. Upon completion, the job should be removed from the list - but it doesn't. I have no problems creating the pdf's - that goes like a charm. So its more a cosmetic problem than anything else.
I've tried deleting the PDF-printer, updating, reparing, un- and reinstalling - but nothing seems to help.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Lars

HP Connect vs Eprint can't delete print job causing log jam

I have used eprint for years and recently been transfered to HP Connected.
In Eprint if a job failed to print following jobs would not print until the problem job was deleted.
In HP Connected I can tick the box for the job causing the problem but the delete (and other options) at the top remain unshaded so it does not allow that job to be deleted. This means I cannot clear the log jam.
Do I need to resort to making a new email for the printer and starting again ?
Any help much appreciated, I tried HP customer help but haven't had any luck so far.
Joel

Hi Joel. To enable full use of the Collections tab, you should have received an email to 'confirm your email'. Have you received this email from HP Connected and clicked the big orange button?
The other factor, is that the jobs in the queue that are 'stuck' will most likely have to fail before they can be deleted. You will not have to get a new email, but you will have to figure out why they are stuck.
The hpconnected site will show you your printer status on the devices tab. Does it say you are online and ready?
You can turn off your printer (unplug it). Pull the plug on your router for 10 seconds or so and then plug it back in. When the router returns to life, power on the printer. When the printer comes back online you need to print an 'info page' or web services report. This can fix this sort of behavior. The process can vary from printer to printer (depending if it has an Eprint button, or Web Services Icon on the front of the printer). What is the model number of printer?
Here is a document helping you find your model number: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=bud09626

Deleting all print jobs on a computer with network accounts

In a school environment, we are using a network server with individual student accounts. Is there a way to delete all print jobs for all users on a given computer? I can reset print system and it only clears the print jobs for that single user.

System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
Click: Open Print Queue
You should be able to delete print jobs from there.

Print Jobs not clearing "Deleting - Printed" message from Print Queue

The jobs print fine but the message Deleting - Printed doesn't clear from the print queue.
The two printers having the issue are HP Color LaserJet 3550s using the External HP JetDirect en3700 (J7942A-61033).
Our Print Server is an HP BL25P running MS Server 2003 Enterprise Edition / SP2. This issue started about two weeks ago only on these printers. I downloaded the newest drive (dated 2007 version 61.63.461.41).
I have deleted and recreated the printers on the Print server and installed the new driver. Still having the same issue. To clear the Print Queue we have to restart the Print Spooler Service on the Print Server.- this causes the "Deleting - Printed" jobs to print again which could be days / weeks after they were originally printed.
We don't want to keep having to restart the Print Spooler.
Any one having a similar issue and know off a fix. I have tried everything I have so far found on the Web.
Thank you.
Mike

Hello @shumaung , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing print speed issues. I would like to help!
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Canon C7055 Delete Secure Print Job

Hi All,
I have an issue with a Canon C7055 in my company.
Last week we have "configured" Secure printing on every printer in the company.
Secure printing is working fine but as a normal user I can delete print jobs.
Could someone explain why this is possible?
I thought only an administrator could delete secure print jobs without password.
Is this a setting I can adjust?
Thank you in advance.
Jelle

I figured it out! I'm not sure if it will work for you but it did for me.
I went to the Canon website and then went to the support section. I then selected the Canon i960 Printer and attempted to download the most up to date printer driver. However, I had a problem. When I tried to click on the drop-down menu to select my OS the website wouldn't let me do it........I was running Safari on Leopard at the time.
I opened up FireFox and did the exact same thing hoping it was just a "Safari issue" but once again I couldn't click on the drop-down menu and get anything to show up. I did notice, however, that the drop-down box was highlighted. Once I had clicked on the drop-down menu I then hit the "M" button on my keyboard and it made the drop-down menu toggle between OS 9 and OS X. I selected OS X and then hit return. I then noticed that all of the driver information was listed below. I was able to click on the link to the driver (which appears to be pretty new......I think it said 11/7/07) and download it. Once I downloaded it, I then installed it and re-started my computer. Once my computer was restarted I went to my System Preferences and "added" my Canon i960 to my printer list (after I restarted my computer I made sure to turn on my printer before going into System Preferences). Once the printer was added I am now able to print without any problems at all!
Once I got past the hurdle of downloading the driver everything was pretty slick. I hope this helps cuz I know I was going nuts trying to figure this out.

Spooled printing job getting automatically deleted in 10 sec

Connected Printer: HP Deskjet 3820/3822 Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Connection Port: ParallelCheck of the driver setting shows no problem. However whenever I am trying to print a Notepad or word document, it is spooling to the printer -- printer window is showing status -- "printing" -- then in 10 sec the status automatically changing to --- "deleting" print job! Any suggestion?

I have the exact same problem, with all my HP Photosmart and all in one printers? Did you ever get this resolved?
could you let me know what the repair is if you know i would greatly appreciate it.

Print jobs won't automatically drop from the print queue after printing

I just bought an Envy 7640. When printing multiple documents, the first print job hangs in the queue after it prints, which prevents subsequent jobs from printing. The first job continues to show a status of Printing after it prints the job. I have to manually go into the queue and cancel the finished job before the next job in the queue will print. Having to clear the queue manually each time a print job finishes is not an acceptable fix to the problem. How can I get the printer to automatically delete the print job after it prints like it's supposed to do?

Thank you for your reply. The steps that you sent are for print jobs that you cannot delete from the queue. I also found those instructions earlier, however, it doesn't apply to the problem I'm having with my printer. I don't have a problem deleting print jobs from the queue. As my previous post stated, when I print multiple documents, the first document prints but it stays in the queue with a status of Printing. Because it stays in the queue with the Printing status, it prevents the second and subsequent documents from printing. My problem is that I have to go to the queue after every single job prints and delete it from the queue to allow the next document to print. It's ridiculous to have to delete every job from the queue after it prints. The printer should automatically delete the job after it prints it, and then print the next job in the queue. How can I make the printer delete a job automatically after it prints it?? Can you please give me a resolution to this problem? Thank you.
