Print job deleted

I had a print job that was 42 pgs. My battery on lap top died and it went into hibernation. I plugged in my laptop and tried to continue printing. It wouldn't work so I deleted the print job to start all over again. It is still deleting after 4 hours. I can't get it to do any printing while it is deleting.

Reboot your computer. That should reset your print job.

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.

Deleting Completed Print Jobs in Mac OS X 10.8 ?

How can the job list of completed print jobs be deleted ?
The job list fills up with lots of completed and canceled (a 10.7./10.8 bug) jobs and many jobs are added multiple times after a time in the list untill closed and reopened again.
This makes it nearly impossible to find a specific job.
Thanks.

This isn't really a good solution, but the only way I found was to delete and re-add the printer. I didn't see anything obvious in the prefs files. Maybe send feedback to Apple about this?

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.

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.

Can't delete or resume print jobs - Epson C60 (shared) on Jaguar

Epson C60 running as a Shared printer on
G3 iMac 700
OS X10.2.x
Print job sent from AppleWorks on G4 iBook, 10.4.4, wireless connection.
Problem: If there's any interruption to a print job while running, it is not possible to resume the job where it was left off. Nor can the job be deleted, and a new one started, specifying only the unfinished part of the first job as the new job.
Current problem is an example of a recurring one.
Job sent to printer (eight pages, collated, 2 copies) without checking paper supply.
Job interrupted when printer ran out of paper.
Loaded paper, opened Print Center, chose job and started.
Printing restarted from page 1 of job.
Job interrupted after third page of second copy by printer running out of ink.
Replaced ink cartridge.
Deleted job, which caused it to disappear from job list in Print Center.
Returned to iBook and sent new print (pages 4-8, 1 copy).
No activity, so returned to iMac and Print Center.
Still nothing in the job list for this printer.
Clicked Start Jobs.
Action from printer! Started printing page 1.
I grabbed pages 1-3, waited for pp 4-8 to come out, then dropped the first three pages into the feed tray to take the overprint as the second copy started, then pulled the rest of the new paper and added the waste from the first round.
Printer finished the 'deleted' job, then the 'new' job spooled in and started.
New job finished, and printer stopped.
Later, printed a second job (same file, two pages, two copies, collated).
Paper jam after first two pages (which is not this printer's usual behaviour).
My wife, who was at the iMac, cleared the jam and asked what to do with the alert which offered only Delete job, Stop job, and Stop all jobs (default) choices.
Chose Delete job (usual choice on an interruption has been to Stop all).
Error light was still lit on printer, so she pressed it.
Printer started. Printed two pages, then ran through another two pages, leaving them blank.
Suggestions?
Regards,
Barry

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried temporarily disabling printing sharing via the Sharing System Preference (letting others using your network know ahead of time), and then trying to delete it?

Deleting a paused print job in HP 2540 deskjet

I want to delete or cancel a print job I paused using wireless HP 2540 Deskjet all-in-one. I have been unable to get rid of it. I have tried:
1. pressing the X on the top of the printer.
2. Searching HP utility for a link to delete command.
3. Going to HP help center (when click on DeskJet 2540 the link is empty)
4. Unplugging the printer and plugging back in in a few minutes
When I go back in to create a new print job, a dialogue box appears saying a current job is paused and would I like to add a new job to the queue. The problem here is the job I am attempting to delete is about 120 pages that I no longer need to print.
I have a 13 inch MacBook Air with Yosemite 10.10.2. Any feedback will be appreciated.

A reset of the printing system will remove the unwanted print job. Note that this action will also remove all printers from the Printers & Scanners preference pane, but not the supporting drivers. So you will just need to add the printers again.

Can I retrieve a print job that I accidently deleted?

I was going to print a saved print job and I accidently deleted it from my print job list. Is there a way to get it back?

See if you can locate it either in the Trash or by using Spotlight.

I can't delete or cancel a print job

I sent a photograph to print on my HP Photosmart B209-am printer. When I waited over an hour for it to print and nothing happened I tried to delete it. The status has said "deleting" for several hours. I have run task manager to cancel, I have rebooted my Windows 7 64bit PC, and restarted the printer. Nothing will delete the print job. What can I do next? I can't print anything else until this is resolved. Thank you!
This question was solved.

Hi,
From the control panel, open administrative tools and select sevices. Browse down to the print spooler service, right click it, select Properties and then click on the stop button. Now browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS and delete the job inside this folder. Reboot the computer and you should be ok.
You may need to click a prompt to gain the appropriate authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
Hope this helps,

Print job will not delete, which halts other print jobs

Maddening issue with some print jobs sticking in print que, then failing to delete when attempting to clear que, which halts any print jobs that follow. Que shows "deleting" but in reality it does not delete. I have tried to go into spooler system and it seems to work when I hit "Stop" then "Start," but do NOT want to have to do this every time. thx for any help.

On order to clear the Spool, the easiest way is to turn off your printer,
Reboot your PC and then cancel all the documents from the Printers screen.
After the documents has been removed, turn the printer back on.
As the issue ocours more often, please let me know your printer model, how it is connected to your PC and your operating system version, it will help to better understand any possible cause.

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

Print job won't delete on my 8600

I have a print job in my que that is stuck in delete mode. I did change print cartridges halfway through that print job, though I am pretty sure it did get finished the other day.

I have a Dell C3760dn printer set up as a network printer on my server. 2003. There is a print job that will not delete.

I've turned off the printer, restarted print spooler, tried to delete the document...nothing.I have tried everything and it just will not delete. I don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall this printer every time a doc from this one user hangs up. Is...

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.
