Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue

This has been going on for way too long. It's been happening with Windows 7. It happens with HP Laser jet 500 Pro color Printer.
Print jobs won't print; but, when you try to delete the print job, it just stays there.    Cancel
does nothing.  Delete
does nothing.    Stopping
the spool via services does nothing. Powering
off the printer then re-powering does nothing.  Rebooting
does nothing.    After everything...still...."1 document pending".   It won't go away. The only way to fix it is to
delete the printer and re-install.   This is getting really flipping' old!
I have tried print spooler services stop and start. after that its works but some printing
its stuck again. very fedup about it. i am using Microsoft windows original software. please help me out on it.

Hp C310 e all in one. Print that is stuck in the print queue, cancel does not remove

hp C310 e all in one. I have a print that is stuck in the print queue, cancel does not remove says deleting. I have tried shutting down printer, closing word doc, multiple canel all prints. Any Ideas

Hello mackice,
Try these steps below to clear the print queue. The steps are listed for Vista and Windows 7 and would be slightly different for XP. If you are using a Mac then the steps below would not work. Please advise what OS you are using.
Option 1)
1. Click on start orb
2. Type in search window: "services.msc" (without the quotes)
3. click ok
4. Scroll down to Printer spooler service and click on it in the right side window.
5. On the left side click stop the service and wait forthe process to stop
(Do not close the window yet. You will have to restart it here later.)
6. next delete the print job in the printer queue
7. then restart the spooler service
8. Resubmit your new print job.
Option 2)
If that doesn't clear it, the next step would be to stop the spooler
service as stated above
Go into windows explorer
(Print job data is collected and stored in a spool file in the spooler
folder.)
It is located in:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
Your print job will show 2 files there Example below:
00002.SHD
00002.SPL
Delete the files located in there. There may be several of them
depending apon how many print jobs you submitted. You will have to
resubmit your print jobs all over again.
Next go back to services window and restart the spooler service

HP PSC 500.My print jobs do not leave the print queue

My HP PSC 500 has been working perfectly with my relatively new computer with Windows 7. However, now anything I want to print just goes to the print queue and no further. I've printed a test sheet but only from the printer itself. I tried it from the computer but that went to the print queue and no further.
I've deleted all jobs in the print queue and they have gone but still everything goes to the print queue and no further.
I'm really worried this is a computer problem but hope it isn't.

Hello there, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I noticed your post about the wireless connection issue you're having with your Officejet 8600 Plus. As you mentioned, the printer just might need a firmware for starters. There could also be other factors in the printer disconnecting, which I will post a guide to as well.

I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

How to set the CR print job name that displayed in Printer job queue?

As following image shows, when I press the Print button in Crystal Report Preview GUI,
a print job is sent to Windows Printer Spool.
[Windows Printer queue dialog snapshot|http://www.box.net/shared/96vq4qa2mp]
The "Document Name" in the dialog is like "Crystal Reports - temp_214d9d11-a73f-4872-81f6-b8a63bf0a6b9.rpt".
I want to know which property of Crystal Reports can be used to set the print job name to a more meaningful one.
Edited by: Xiaobing Sun on Apr 2, 2009 5:08 AM

The solution in this thread is for VS .NET as this is the forum for CR in .NET.
With Foxpro, I suspect you want to create a new thread in the SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs forum.
Make sure you specify the exact version of CR used.

Problem with Acrobat print job being stuck in queue

I have Acrobat 7.0 Pro and I do a lot of print to Acrobat PDF 7.0 from web pages. When I go to print from Safari and pick the printer Acrobat PDF 7.0,
the pages will process and bring the PDF up in Acrobat.
However, if I then want to print another page, I have a problem. Many times, the previous print job has a status of printing in the queue even though it is complete.
If I delete the job, the next job will complete.
Something is not completing or deleting completed jobs in my queue.
Any help would be great.

Thank you for the response. This has always worked for me in the past. I can print a web page to acrobat, then even print another one and the next file (pdf) is created no problem. In the past, the print job has gone away as soon as the file was created.
I will try the permissions fix and see what happens.
Shane
Hi there,
With the page that has opened in Acrobat, do you save
this document before you try to print the next
document. I am thinking that maybe the spooler is
expecting you to do something with the file that has
printed before it releases it from the queue.
I would also try running a Repair Disk Permissions.
This is located in Applications > Utilities > Disk
Utility. This can resolve permissions on files that
may be stopping the spooler from finishing.
Regards,
Paul

Print jobs complete but don't leave queue

I have a HP Photosmart C310 which has worked fine with Mac Lion until the past few days. When I print something, the print job no longer leaves the queue unless I manually delete it. Otherwise, the next time I print, the printer still says it is trying to print the previous job.
I tried resetting the printer, (deleting and reinstalling), but that didn't fix the situation.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

Hi Colleenmaura,
I understand that the print job does not leave the queue after the print has completed. I would like you to follow the steps in this link by MissTeriLynn for uninstalling and reinstalling the software. There are some extra's steps that I think you need to perform to get a clean install.

Check if in Word document (Word 2013) advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the printer" is set

Is it possible in a VBA macro to check whether an opened word document has the advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the Printer" is set.
I have a word macro that opens and processes thousands of word documents. The processing needs to be different based on whether this option is set or not.
Thanks,
Harry Spier

Hi Harry,
I'm afraid that we're not able to retrieve this option value. The Advanced Options are actually stored as application level. Some of the options can be accessed with the Word.Application.Options property. But there're also many options that are not
exposed in the Word Object Model. As you can see in this figure, there's no property corresponding to "Use fonts that are stored on the printer":

Printer prints postscript code instead of print job every 5 or 9 print jobs.

Hi,
I have a Xerox Phaser 5880 printer that worked with our old G5 iMac. Upgraded to a new Intel mac when the old iMac died, and have run into intermittent printing problems.
We have:
Updated to the very latest version of 10.6.7
Updated the printer firmware
Updated the printer driver (Snow leopard compatible)
Reset the printer service in control panel
Removed and re added the printer
The Problem:
The first few print jobs typically work, and then the printer will spit out the code of the postscript rather than the document. The print job can be the exact same page printed previously a few seconds ago. If I force the printer language (setting on the printer), to PostScript rather than 'Auto', I get a red error message printed instead, saying "Undefined Command" and "Offending Character" will be either ">>" or "t" or "PS".
I thought I would try to reinstall the 10.6.7 combo update, however it says "The Target Drive" is not available. :\
Unplugging the printers USB cable, and then reinserting it fixes the issue for another few print jobs. As the printer is used in a paper business however, this is a significant problem as expensive paper types are used in the printer.
Any support is greatly appreciated

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!

Hello Bruarong,
It sounds like you are unable to print to your printer from Mac OS X Lion. I recommend the troublehsooting from the article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Messages still stuck in the Inbound queue SMQ2

Hello XI Gurus,
All my messages with "READY" status are still stuck in the inbound queue (smq2) for the last 2 hours...there was no SYSFAIL error messages or scheduled background running. I have to manually go in and executed each of those messages, instead of automatically process it. Could someone please tell me how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks so much in advanced,
Dng

Implement SAP note 758677 for this. This exactly deals with your issue.
This Basically speaks about scheduling 'RSQIWKEX' for inbound and 'RSQOWKEX' for outbound queues.
Also, you need to set the parameter 'QRFC_Restart_ALLOWED' to '1' in the transaction 'SXMB_ADM' -> Integration engine. Its in the runtime dropdown menu.
Note : without this parameter being set this will not work.
Thanks,
Karthik

Mails are stuck in the outbox after an offline period

Hi!
I am often writing e-mail while I'm offline, e.g. on planes, buses etc.
Then when I get back online I kinda expect the Mail App to send these mails instantly. However it does not do that. The mails are stuck in the outbox for up to 15-20 minutes after I get back online. The e-mails I have received while being offline are downloaded instantly as they should be. And if I then write new e-mails after getting back online they just get stuck in the same queue together with the other stuck e-mails.
Is there a fix for this? Do you experience the same? It is really annoying and making wonder if I should get another Mail App.
I have just installed the new Yosemite and I was hoping it had fixed the problem. But it hasn't...
I am working on a MacBook Pro 2013.
Thanks!

IDOCs are "stuck" in the transaction IDXP

Hello,
I have a problem: IDOCs payment fornecedres are "stuck" in the transaction IDXP. I do not know exactly what is happening, but I release the IDOCs in IDXP and then they get stuck in the transaction SMQ2.
In transaction SM58 has an error log "Command to tRFC / qRFC: Execute LUW again.", Which is the same that appears in the log SMQ2.
The only thing I got is that the identifier field "package" is not filled in within the IDOC IDXP, but do not know if this influences into something.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem and could help me?
Thank you.

Hi,
It has nothing to do with Package filed,
please check below things...
Check if the Idocs are configured to process immediately in the partner profile.
Check if the Queues are scheduled to run automatically.
Check if the connection between the servers are working fine thru sm59.
Thanks...
