Network Print Jobs Stuck in Queue

Hello,
I have, perhaps, the most frustrating problem on the planet. In my home network, I have a HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected to my main PC, with 2 other PC's on the network. All 3 run Windows 7. Printing from my main PC works fine, but if I try to print over the network, the print job always gets stuck in the queue. I can see it stuck in the queue on my main PC, but I can't do anything about it. I can't delete it, nothing. If I restart the spooler, then it magically prints and clears the queue, but it's annoying to have to do that all the time. I've reinstalled the drivers several times to no avail. Tips?

I have a similar problem, I have a directly connected 1300 and a network P3015. The 1300 is connected via USB, the 3015 is connected by RJ45 cable right to the router. Both printers have their print queues get stuck, but only from my HP Pavilion Elite HPE running HP-installed Windows 7. All the other machines in the office can use the 3015 printer perfectly well. One is an older Pavilion using XP-Pro, another is a Dell using XP-Pro and the third is a Lenovo laptop using Windows 7. All our toners are not refills (seems like a stupid suggestion that the toner cartridge could cause a queue to lock up). The problem is definitely between my machine and the HP printers. I have a Brother printer and a couple of Seiko/Epson printers that all work perfectly fine.
Rebooting several times a day is getting old.

Wireless print job stuck in queue

C5180 print jobs from network are stuck in queue and won't print. I've reinstalled driver, etc. Does print from a USB cable connection. Any ideas?

I've got a similar problem with the officejet 5510 (multifunction) attached by USB to XP computer. I can print direct (connected by USB) and wirelessly from my windows 7 laptop. I can print direct (USB) from my Mac OS 10.4.11 However, when I print wirelessly from the Mac, the print job shows up in the que on the XP machine with the 5510 attached, but wont print. I have to clear the spool from the command line.
I've set up the 5510 wirelessly by using the advanced windows printing via Samba, by Lpd to the IP address, and by simply adding the printer in the work group. All three ways result in network traffic (I see it on the firewall log) and result in a document queued.
since there is no 5510 officejet (mutlifunction), I have set up the printer with the cups/gutenprint 5.2.7 profiles using several different printers - generic officejet, deskjet 950c, officejet 5110, designjet 5500ps, designjet 5000PS HP 9085MFP.
I can't get the print job out of the queue/spool and into the printer.
Any thoughts?

Print jobs stuck in queue after printer goes auto off

Hi all!We have an HP LaserJet M125NW printer in the office, which is connected directly to the network (wired). The problem is, once the printer goes to "auto off" mode, the print jobs get stuck in the queue, and we need to restart the printer every time. After the restart, it works fine, until it goes auto off again. The device has a fix ip, and it can be seen on the network, everything sems okay, but it still doesn't print. I tried different computers, different operating systems, nothing works. Could anyone help me with this annoying situation?

, Welcome to the forums I read about the printing issue you're having with your LaserJet M125NW, that will not seem to wake up when you send the print job to be printed out. Below is what I would first suggest trying. Select Setup, System Setup, Energy Settings, Wake/Auto On Events, and in that menu, select "LAN Job" to see if this will help wake the printer up when you send it a print command. Also ensure you have the power to the unit plugged in directly to a wall outlet. Avoid power bars and surge protectors, which ensures the printer is receiving the full power it needs. Let me know what happens, good luck

PSC 1410 - print job stuck in queue

Sometimes my PSC 1410 stops printing part-way through a page: the warning lights "jam" and "cartridge" come on, although the paper path clears after pressing On/Resume when the spoiled sheet emerges (undamaged), and the cartridges are at about half life and have been aligned. Apart from the waste of paper and ink, the great problem is that the stuck job remains in the queue and does not respond to Cancel or Delete: even switching printer and computer off and on still leaves the job stuck in the queue sometimes, when it has been known to restart printing automatically.
Can anybody tell me a sure-fire method of clearing the stuck job out of the queue ?

Print Job Stuck in Queue - can't print

HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g Series. Unable to print documents. The HP Solution Center indicates that my desktop and the printer are connect. I attempted to cancel all print jobs. All were cancelled with the exception of one. That job continues to indicate, "Deleting - Printing." I've powered off/on on both the printer and the desktop. Unplugged cable from unit and wall. Waited 10 seconds. It did print a self-test diagnostic page generated from the PC, but it won't print any of my documents. Any suggestions as to what might be the problem and how to resolve it? Thank you.

Hello Mclaugha1,
Thanks for the post. On this one, I've included a couple of links below that should assist you in getting past this error and back to printing. Good Luck!

Print jobs stuck in queue using P4015n LaserJet

I setup a P4015n LaserJet printer for one of my clients using the RJ45 connection from the printer. My client has 4 computers 2 Windows 7 64 bit systems, 1 Windows 7 32 bit system and 1 Windows XP 32 bit system. I set the network ip address, subnet mask and default gateway manually on the printer. Sometimes printing from the Windows 7 64 bit systems the jobs get stuck in the queue and you have to delete them before you can print again. The other 2 computers do not have any issues printing and they where setup using the drivers from the CD. I downloaded the latest PCL 6 drivers for the Windows 7 64 bit systems. Looking for some suggestions.
Thanks

Ok the problem happened on one of the 32 bit computers so it is not a 64 bit issue. Still looking for some suggestions.
Thanks

Officejet printer 6700 deleted printer job stuck in queue

Any solution for getting rid of a deleted document from the print queue as it is preventing me from printing new documents. I have already typed NET STOP SPOOLER del /Q /F /S "%systemroot%\System32\Spool\Printers\*.*" NET START SPOOLER in Dos Prompt but it replies by saying it does not recognise ***
This question was solved.
View Solution.

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 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 has been removed.

I need help. Can LiveCycle PDF Generator accept network print jobs from a PCL only source?

I need help. Can LiveCycle PDF Generator accept network print jobs from a PCL only source?

More information about this game:
The game should generate a random obstacle course for the player. The first column of the grid, however, should consist of all empty pieces, with the exception of the upper left-hand corner, which is the grid location where the player initially resides.
Enter a loop in which the following things happen (not necessarily in this order):
Print the current board configuration. Additionally, a key should be printed describing what each piece is.
Get an action from the user. The player can move up, down, left, or right. Use the following controls: up = 'i', down = 'm', left = 'j', right = 'k'. The player can move at most one block at a time. Of course, if the player tries to move into a spot occupied by an immovable block, the player will not move.
Inform the player whether they have won, or if they have lost (a player loses if they step on a bomb piece).
If the player types 'q', the game should terminate.
I am still stuck on this maze generator stuff.... Please help me....

Print Job remains in queue even though it prints OK?

Hello All,
I am trying to help a friend of mine setup wireless printing from her Macbook. Unfortunately I don’t know very much about Macs and OSX but I am a quick learner
The setup:
Virgin Media Cable Modem -> connected (RJ45) to a Wireless Linksys Cable Modem -> connected (RJ45) to a Belkin USB Hub.
From the USB hub I have two printers connected:
1 x HP Deskjet
1 x Samsung ML-2240 Laserjet
Both these printers install to the Macbook perfectly as default USB devices (wirelessly) via the USB Hub. They also appear correctly in the Belkin USB Hub software console.
The HP printer works perfectly every time it is used, no issues whatsoever. The Samsung printer prints ok the first time but the print jobs do not disappear from the print queue on the Macbook, the print job doesn’t appear to complete even though it has actually printed without any issue.
The problem this causes is that after the first print job has been printed it is not possible to print again. Even if I delete the print job from the queue manually I cannot still not print a second time. The only way I can get the printer to print again is to unplug and then plug back in the USB cable that is connected to the USB Hub. When I unplug the cable the print job disappears from the queue on the Macbook. I can then reconnect the USB cable and connect to the printer and it will print again.
I have made sure that I have the latest firmware on the Macbook which is running 10.5.* OSX. I have also installed the latest Firmware and Drivers on the Samsung Printer and the USB Hub.
Is there a different way to setup the print queue that you think may help? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I spent 5 hours on this yesterday and it still isn’t working
Thanks

It should bring up the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) 1.3.11 manual if you're running 10.5.8 (hint; 10.5 is meaningless). Since it doesn't, I suggest doing an Archive & Install installation, followed by running Software Update.

Print job stays in queue after it's printed & hangs subsequent jobs

I'm having a very frustrating printer problem under Leopard. A print job will stay in the queue and it's status remains as "printing" even after it's already printed. This happens especially when more than one job is in the print queue. The only way to get the subsequent jobs to print is to delete the hung job & then the other jobs will all print properly. The printer queue also remains active in the dock until all the jobs go through & I physically close the queue. If I send a single print job it will go through properly & the queue will close automagically. Subsequent multiple print jobs will also hang the queue just as described above.
I'm printing to an HP Color LaserJet 2600n connected via USB. I've installed all of the latest HP printer drivers & still no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks for any assistance.

I too have had this exact same problem with a HP 1022 ever since upgrading to Leopard. It's intermittent but very irritating. HP were no help and I have just learnt to live with it. I have to clear the previous print job and sometimes turn the printer on and off again. I also have a HP K5400 which is a terrific colour ink jet printer. Unfortunately you cannot set the print quality options for Pages and Numbers documents, so I have to save them as pdf's first and then print them. It's fine with MS Office 08 and pretty much all other apps. I think I'm going to give HP printers a miss when I change them - but this may be for many years...

HP 6110 All-in-one no longer prints...print jobs sit in queue

My printer worked fine last week and now I went to print somethign and it just sits in queue. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers, running the HP Diagnostic (which says everything seems fine) but nothing prints. Any ideas on how to get this working again? I also tried to print on my other laptop and that doesn't work either - so it's not an issue with this particular computer.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I have a similar problem but only with my vista pc. All print jobs sit in the queue, don't print. No problem printing on my mac. Please jhelp!
