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

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.
Regards,
DP-K

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.

Any way to get more than 100% zoom on print jobs when printing multiple pages?

I know how to increase the size of a print job, when I am printing one page at a time. But when I go to print 2 pages at once (the multiple page print function), there are always large margins around the page. I'm ok with saving paper and printing up two pages, but it seems silly to see small print and wide blank margins. Is there any way to increase the print zoom, when printing multiple pages per sheet of paper?

I once overshot the limit by marking too many photos to fit within 99 pages, but I could never figure out how to fool the application and had to give up trying to add those 14 extra photos.
I asked a friend (who practically lives in Terminal) if he had any way of modifying that limit, but he reminded me that if their printing services are set up to bind books and bill for only 99 pages, fooling the application might be useless if the service only prints me a 99 page book and discards the additional pages.
I can understand that you wouldn't want to let people print 1000 page books, but I sent feedback anyway to allow me to increase the limit. Anyone know of any service that lets you print beyond iPhoto's limits?

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.

Icon still in dock when print job has finished

I am printing successfully to a Brother HL2700 Color Laser over a network. Can do this with Bonjour and also IP Printing. When my print job finishes the generic printer icon stays in the dock with the active triangle underneath it. This is not mission critical, but it is VERY annoying! I didn't need to install any drivers from the Brother site as the printer was automatically added. Could this be a driver issue?
Any ideas on a fix - short of resetting the print setup. I'm not sure this would resolve it, and I don't want to lose the other correctly configured printers - all of which demonstrate the same behaviour.
My MacBook Pro is brand new and has demonstrated this from the day the printers were first added.
Similar reports from Googling the net (some frome way back in 10.3), but couldn't find a fix or an explanation.
Thanks for any input...
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Print file deletes before print job is finished

I have been trying to print a file about 119 pages it has some color graphics and some photos within the text from adobe it printed about 25 pages good then it stopped and deleted the file I have tried to print 1 page at a time some print and some just print the first few lines of text then a blank page comes out and then it prints the same text on another page and the file is deleted no error messages of any kind I have tried shutting down the printer and restarting it . I have also done the print and scan dr from HP and it found nothing the text page printed fine. If I open the printer box I can see it spool the file it starts to print and the above happens and then I see it deleting the file. I am also printing wireless from my home network. I hope this give you enough information. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @ssward4,
Do large print jobs from other programs produce the same result? What happens when you print a smaller job from Adobe? I understand you have already run the HP Print and Scan Doctor but the issue remains, and you have checked the spooler.

Print jobs not finishing

More often than not, when I try to print a document, the printer does not finish the print job. Usually I can get the document printed, if I print one page at a time!! thanks for your help

Hello @LMM2,
I understand that you're experiencing issues when printing from your Windows 8.1 computer to your HP Officejet 6815 e-All-in-One Printer. I had previously worked with you on February 12th and we resolved this issue. I'm assuming that that the issue returned?
If the Microsoft HotFix is no longer allowing you to print multi-page print jobs can I please have you follow the steps below to manually add your printer on the TCP/IP network port, rather than the WSD port as the WSD port tends to be what causing the multi-page print issue.
Step 1: Clear the Temp Files:
Open your Start screen by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left of your computer, or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
When the Start screen opens type Run
Click on Run to launch the Run box
In the Run box type %temp% and select OK
When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard.Everything in this folder will now highlight.
Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files. Should a Temp file still be used than you will automatically get the pop up to 'skip' that item.
Close the Temp folder once it is emptied
Right click the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling Bin
Step 2: Download Driver:
Please click here to download your driver. Once the website opens select the Download button. Once the download is complete, if the install window opens please close it.
Step 3: Gather IP Address:
On the front panel of your printer please gather the IP Address.
On the printer control panel touch Setup
Touch Reports
Touch Network Configuration Report
When the Network Configuration Report opens please locate the IP Address. Keep this IP Address handy as we will need it for the next step.
Step 4: Add Printer Manually:
1. Open your Start screen by selecting the Windows icon on the bottom left of your Computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
2. Type Run in the Start Screen. Click Run to launch the Run dialogue box.
3. In the Run box type %temp% and select OK
4. When the Temp folder opens, locate the 7z... folder. It will not show the same 7z number sequence as the one in the image below.
5. Click on this folder once to open it. Make sure it show OJ6810 files in it.
6. Once the correct 7z folder is opened, please copy the file path at the top. Left click once on the right side of the file path bar. Everything will now highlight in the file path. Right click and Copy the file path. Close the window
7. Reopen your Start screen and type Devices and Printers. Click on Devices and Printers to open it.
8. Click on Add a Printer at the top. Select Add a Local Printer. (The picture below may look slightly different than your computer as my PC is Windows 7)
9. Select 'Create a New Port' and select the Standard TCP/IP Port.
10. Select 'Next' and then type in your printers IP Address that we gathered from the Network Configuration Report. Select Next again.
11. If you're brought to a list of manufacturers and printers, select the Have Disk button on the bottom right.
12. In the file path bar right click and paste in the file path we just copied. Select OK.
13. Select your HP Officejet. Select Next.
Now that your printer is added in you should be able to test printing. There will be 2 copies of your printer under Devices and Printers. The printer we just added should be your default. The older version of your printer will just stay there. If we delete the older copy of your printer than you will no longer be able to use your Printer Assistant Software or Scan. The older version will not interfere with printing.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

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

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

"could not start print job" when printing to PDF from Lightroom

Any body else had this problem and fixed it?? When I print from Lightroom to Adobe PDF I get "could not start print job" and the print job hangs.
I have:
Lightroom 2.5 64 bit
Acrobat Standard 9
Windows 7 Ultimata 64bit but I had this problem with Vista 64 bit. Somtimes it would work sometimes not - now with Windows 7 Not - always.
I can print to acrobat from every other application, even Photoshop CS3 - just not Lightroom.
It's terribly frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew,
I can print from other apps, just printed a doc from open office.
OS Windows 8.1. Have been printing from this computer and setup previously, it seems to have been an intermitent problem that has now become a consistent problem.
I've updated the printer firmware, and Windows is up to date.
Seems to be a lightroom issue, and I'm getting a bit nervous because I have a show opening on February 15th I need to print for.

How to include the URL in the name of the print job when printing from FF

We log all print activity in our company and it would be helpful to be able to identify print jobs from Firefox, however as only a web page's <TITLE> content is used as the print job name, I was wondering if there was a way to either use the URL as the print job name, or even prefix the print job name as "Mozilla Firefox" to identify jobs from this application?

Thank you for your reply but that's the print job content, i.e. page header / footer will have the URL typed into it. I'm after the name of the print job, i.e. as it appears in the print queue. For that I cannot find an option.
I'm wondering whether a plug-in could do this, replace the normal print function with an identical one that uses the URL as the print job name.

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:

Delete workflow item when finished

Hi!
I have a process code triggering WF92100011.
In this WF I have a task TS92100010 that is running IDOCORDERS.INPUTFOREGROUND.
In this task TS92100010 I have two terminating events:
IDOCORDERS.INPUTFINISHED
IDOCORDERS.INPUTERROROCCURRED
Therefore out of the TS..10 there are two Outcomes. One is "Workflow finished" and the other is TS92100008 that should pick up the workitem and move it to another "folder" in the inbox; "Order change - Errors".
(Question 1:)
But this is not happening. Why?
If I look at the workitem in the inbox I can see the error status or the success status. If an order was created I can click the "End process" button. If it was an error I can reprocess the task.
BUT. (Question 2)
I can't delete any of the workitems.
Why?
I'm not a workflow expert but have been sitting with this for a few days now and it's driving me nuts.
So any help is more than appreciated.
Best regards,
Mattias

Ok.
In this case they have been "Actioned" I think!
Because I process the first step = IDOCORDCHG.INPUTFOREGROUND ... but the problem is that after processing neither the task is deleted nor the task is moved to the error folder.
Anyone have another solution? Or am I not understanding the problem?
BR and thank you very much!
