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.

  • 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.

  • How do I print panoramic photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer?

    How do I print panoramic photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer?

    Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6,  5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats  you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case:  A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

  • Hi....is it possible to print from iPad to a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 printer?  Thanks for any help!

       Hi....is it possible to print from iPad to a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 printer?  Thanks for any help!

    The HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 is not an AirPrint printer, if that is what you're asking. HP has proprietary apps that may be suitable for your needs.
    To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
    You can also buy this standalone print server:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

  • Cannot cancel print jobs from queue in Windows

    We have some print jobs we sent to the Bonjour printer when we were off network, they still show in the windows queue, but we cannot cancel them, any suggestions?
    Matt

    Short of removing Bonjour, then reloading it, not much. Presuming you're using Windows, have you tried deleting them, then turning off the computer, then turning it back on? Sometimes that does it.

  • Hoiw to remove print job from queue?

    How can I remove a "print job" from the queue.  Selecting "cancel all printing jobs" will not remove it.  It says it is deleting, it is not doing anything.   Help please.    As long as this job is showing the printer will not print anything else.

    Hi Betty,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    The job queue may be stuck.
    Switch off the printer
    IF you are running a notebook, first do this:
    Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
    Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
    Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
    Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
    Boot the computer and log in
    OR
    If you are not running a notebook, just
    Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
    stop all your running programs, 
    shut down completely
    Boot the computer and log in
    Switch on the printer and wait until it is all back up and running.
    That probably won't fix the queue, but it will clear the rest of the cobwebs.
    Next, try this:
    Control Panel> icon view > Administrative Tools> Services>
    Click on Name to sort the column alphabetically >
    Scroll down and look for Print spooler> Highlight Print Spooler>
    Click Restart the service

  • 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
    Regards.

  • 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:

  • Enumerate print jobs in queue

    How can you use print.* to enumerate print jobs in the queue? Would anybody have sample code to enumerate print jobs, or there attributes in the print queue?

  • 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

  • Constant Printing Restart on a networked HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909N Series printer

    Hello,
    I'm curious if anyone has run into this problem before.  I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909n Series printer that I have setup as a network printer.  This has been accomplished through a print server.
    I installed the printer's drivers based upon the cd that came with the printer, in the box.
    The problem is that whenever a user prints, say it's a simply one page document... the printer will repeatedly print that single page until it runs out of paper.  I have stopped/restarted the print spooler.  I've rebooted the printer and the print server.  I have deleted the drivers and readded them.  I've tried installing drivers from HP's website and then installing those.  I have attempted to delete the printer from the server and start from scratch.
    When I monitor the print queue, I can see the service restart after each document prints.  I can't figure out how to get this to stop.
    Does anyone have a suggestion; or has anyone run into this problem?  I'm not sure which forum to put this in.  I chose the Networks/Wireless forum, even though this is running on a wired network with wireless disabled.
    I certainly appreciate any asistance. 
    -Craig

    It ended up being an issue with the port.  I had used the same port as the last HP printer that I replaced.  This printer needs to run on a TCP/IP port, and not an HP port.
    Problem solved.
    Oh, and it was wired, with wireless disabled.

  • Printing from Motorola Xoon tablet to Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Android ePrint app

    Hello!
    My Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer
    - is connected to my Laptop (Win7 64bit) via USB cable
    - is connected to my router via WLAN
    - is configured to use ePrint with a registered mail address
    My Motorola Xoom tablet3
    - has Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4 installed as operating system
    - has the HP ePrint Home&Biz app installed
    ePrint
    - ePrint app is configured
    - the app identified/shows my printer as it should
    - I successfully registered to ePrint on the HP website
    - I am using a registered mail address for connection between app and ePrint online
    As soon as I select a document on my tablet and try to print it,
    - the app shows up a "rendering document" message for a short time
    - a preview of the document should show up, but it doesn't!!
    - I can see the selected document as "pending" print job
    - no documents will be printed
    - pending documents can't be deleted and remain in the tablet's display
    So, I desparately need help! Why does my printer not receive or print the documents from the Xoom tablet?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    I understand that It was not a problem with the connection. When dealing with wireless networks, it is always a good idea to set a static IP.  It makes things more stable.  The reason I told you to enter Google's DNS was not to connect you to Google.  All a DNS does is create a pathway to the internet.  Once any device finds the internet via the DNS it then goes where it is supposed to.  It just uses the DNS as a referance for the internet.  Web services should work fine with your router DNS, I have just had more success using Google's public DNS.  
    You never mentioned wether you did all the power cycling that I asked you too.  I know it does not make sense, but power cycling everything on the network so it can all reconnect fresh, solves most issues like this one.  However, if you have power cycled everything and you are still having issues, then try removing the Xoom and the printer from the network, and reconnecting them.  Sometime, you have to completely remove the printer and mobile device from the networks and reattach them before they will comunicate.  
    If none of that works,  you may need to call the cloud services department to have them take a look at the issue.  You can find the number by logging into your ePrintCenter.com acount and looking under the help section.  When you get an agent on the phone make sure to tell them everything you have done, so they do not have you do the same steps.  Honestly at this point if it is not working the next step is a semi-full reset, which will cause you to loose your ePrint email address, as well as reset everything back to factory settings on the printer.  I am not allowed to share how to semi-full the printer via the forums, however the phone agents can walk you through one.

  • Hp Officejet Pro x64 Printer does not print, waiting for available

    Many times, when I send something to print, it just says, "waiting for printer availability".  I have checked all my settings, and the correct printer is selected.  Sometimes I turn the printer on and off, and it might work.
    As this is a new printer, I am not happy about this.
    Sara McNulty

    Hi @SaMac2,
    Welcome back to the HP Support Forums!  I understand when you send a print job to your HP Officejet 8610, you get a message 'Waiting for printer availability'. Sometimes if you turn the printer off and then on it will work. Please follow the steps listed below:
    Repair Disk Permissions
    1.On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
    2.Double-click Disk Utility.
    3.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
    4.Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
    5.Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
    Did this help? Please let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply.
