Printer stuck in "delete-Printing" for four days; HP Deskjet 3000.

Tried to print 6 page PowerPoint file on HP Deskjet 3000, but printer stuck and would not print. Tried to delete from queue, but status continually shows "Deleting-Printing" for past four days.  How do I fix this?

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(s) 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(s) have been removed.
Regards,
DP-K

  • How do I cancel an email I tried to send--I was a dolt and sent one with 8 photos (actual size) and my phone has been trying to send for four days.  Thank you!  Jeff

    Greetings from Beantown!
    I was a dolt and tried to email 8 photos (actual size) from my iPhone 4S and now my phone has been "working" trying to send for four days.  Verizon has texted me that all my data for monthly plan is now used up and I am not able to "cancel" send for the message.  Does anyone know how to cancel an email that is being sent?
    Many thanks,
    Jeff

    Put your phone in Airplane mode, go to the mail app & see if you can delete the stuck mail now. If not, while still in Airplane mode, send yourself an email, it will go to the outbox, see if you can now delete both.

    He does not have an actual kindle so I am not sure if he would be able to create one anyways.
    The Kindle app is so you do not have to use a Kindle. Yes, he can have a Kindle account and not own an actual Kindle hardware device.

  • I lost my internet for four days and now my extreme will not do anything

    After losing my internet connection for four days when it returned my airport extreme will not do anything. I tried resets and still nothing?

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    (OPTIONAL) While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

  • Printer stuck on "deleting"

    HP Photosmart C-4180 All in One stuck on "deleting" in dialog box.  Tried to cancel print job several times.  Tried to re-boot printer, but did not work.

    Hi @jerasmo05 ,
    I see that you are having issues with the printer being stuck on initializing. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    What happened prior to the printer going into initializing? (paper jam, update, changed a toner)
    I wasn't sure which manual reset you have already tried.
    I will send you the reset for the printer in a private message.
    In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!
    Thank You.

  • I have a new Officejet 6500. It printed from my iPad perfectly for one day and then stopped.

     The printer is a 6500 E710n-z.  It is supposed to support airprint and in fact, did for a day.  Now when I try to print an email from my iPad, the messages on the ipad show contacting printer and preparing page.  Then nothing. It appears to have sent the email to the printer but nothing shows up in the queue.  The only difference between day one and day day was I set up the fax on day two

  • For four days I have been unable to open a lot of documents. When I try I get a message "The document "name" could not be opened. You don't have permission. This has happened to an important letter which I corrected four times. My Mac has altered the name

    This problem began when I typed in an address http www etc., making one mistake in the address. I corrected it and then tried to copy the address because it was long (I wanted to be able to acces it another time), and that's when the trouble starrted. I just copt documents to get a new one because it's quicker, but it is unorthodox, I know. Since then whenever I copy a document i cannot open it, and it often puts a gobledegook ending to the document name. I've started emailing texts to myself so as to keep them, but I MUST be able to use documents normally. I hava a MacBook Pro, using OS Mountain Lion 10.8.5. I don't like it. It's fairly new, and has messed up my system of documents : the size is alll wrong and the tabulations are worse than ever. I use text edit because I wanted to use Macdictate because I am handicapped (arthritis and firbomyalgia) but I have never been able to get it to work. Since I changed OS I cannot use Text edit properly any more. Please help me. I think it must be a bug that came through when I was putting this address in four days ago. I went to the site once I'd corrected the address and it was perfectly normal. I shall ring them today and ask them if this has happened to anyone else. I live in France. Thank you for your advice. Because I am handicapped and I do not dirve, it is very difficult to get to a Mac store. I deleted Mac cloud documents because I don't want to use it and I thought it might solve the problem, but it didn"t.

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Internet really slow for four days now - cookies problem?

    For the last four days my internet has been as-slow as dial-up!! it was working fine before, fast connection, no problems.  For the last four days, especially in things like Ebay and Facebook it just sticks and shows a cookie with a red cross through it and a timer going round at the top left.  I have allowed all cookies etc and cleared my history but nothing sorts the problem.  Is this a problem that other people are experiencing? I live in Kent.  Many thanks.

    Right just spoken to someone at Sky who, after having me check my connection and tell me there is an issue, swap my microfilter for the spare one that came with the fibreoptic broadband last week, recheck my connection which was then slower! search for a flat head screwdriver, undo the screws on the master socket to be told i have an old master socket so not to worry, put the incredibly old screws back in....a task in itself, that in fact an engneer is needed!!! Maybe worth a call to Sky but have a flat headed screwdriver to hand!! Also they cannot arrange a sky engineer until tomorrow so are calling me back to arrange tomorrow afternoon. Hope this helps. To be fair the sky person i spoke to was very helpful i just found this a labourious task to find out something i already knew!

  • Restricting of Fiscal year period for Four days

    HI Experts can you pls suggetst
    we are providing a layout for  an enduser for a particular period through web interface, so that he
    can enter the plan data for that period, the issue is like we have a period of 15 days the end user
    has to input the plan data for that period, the planning layout should enable for 5 days only,  latter
    if he want to input the plan data it should not edit or cannot input,  how can i go head with this.

    Hi.
    I suggest you to think about the next approach:
    1. Create variable A (based on IO period) for determining a period (lets say it's input variable with range - this range will be 15 days)
    2. Create layout in BPS0 when data columns are dynamic for period that has this variable A (in manual input click on "additional settings->in "data columns"->"dynamic for" select period)
    3. Create another variable B (I guess it should be user exit variable that gets values from variable A and decides which values will be locked)
    4. Create data slice and restrict it with variable B.
    This way you will see in layout 15 days in period, but only some of days, depends on variable B, will be opened for input.
    Regards.

  • I'm backing up my new iphone 5 from icloud and it's taking forever to download my photos. It being going for four days. Am I doing something wrong?

    I'm backing up my new iphone 5 from icloud and it's taking forever for my photos to download. It's been going for 4 days. It's downloaded 1400 out of 1900 photos. Am I doing something wrong?

    I think you may not using the right technical terms.  When backing up to icloud, there is no way you'd get a message saying things will be wiped.  This message may be displayed when you are performing a RESTORE from a backup and then trying to cancel it.
    If you are doing a restore, then you can reboot and restore again.

  • Can't create a new user on ePrint center for four days now

    I've been trying to create a new ePrint user since Saturday when I set up my printer. I think I've tried it 15 times now. All I ever get when submitting the form at:
    https://h30495.www3.hp.com/user_create
    is:
    "Oops! Something just went wrong on our server! We've logged the problem and will fix it as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience."
    I saw an earlier thread where someone saying they were an HP employee said it was fixed. I tried it after that and it still doesn't work for me. This is really weak! I would like to use this feature, but if I can't do something as basic as signing in to use it, it makes me wonder who is using it at all...

    As reported by one Danish user, the problem was I was using Czech characters in the name, so now it works.
    Apparently somewhere along the chain between the web and backend sides someone doesn't have an encoding set properly. In this day and age, with the ease of UTF-8 and Unicode, that's pretty lame...
