Cannot delete print job
I was printing a photo to my HP DeskJet 5550 and had
problems. Nothing printed so I checked the Printer controller window to check status. It indicated the job was pirnting. I decided to cancel the print job and the status changed to "Deleting". However, it has not changed since and I can not remove the job. The stsus just leists "deleting". I have tried everything and now I can not print a simple text file. I tried disconnecting the printer. Turning the printer off. Even restoring my computer to an earlier time. The job keeps appearing. I am running Windows XP.

Cannot delete print job
Use the below small Bat file to delete print jobs in the queue.
Create it using NotePad or WordPad. Give it it name like KillPrintJob.bat and save it in My Documents or wherever you prefer. Next time you have a similar problem, just doubleclick the Bat file and the queue delete it. @echo off net stop "print spooler" del /q "%SystemRoot%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.*" net start "print spooler" ping localhost -n 5 nul -- XP - WNP Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Cannot delete print job
Try deleting the failed job(s) from the spooler directory, restatring
and printing. The default spool directory is c:\Womdows\system32\spool\PRINTERS Delete every file found there and restart Windfows. Let us know.

Cannot delete print job
Hi Carlos (or anyone who can help): I followed your suggestion to remove a
job from the print queue and it worked great. But now I can't print at all. When I click on print, I get a little window that shows the job is printing, but then nothing happens, and when I open the printer window, there's no job in there. Another post here suggested that I go into manager and restart the print spooler, which I did. But still, nothing. HELP!!!! Iris "Burt" wrote: "yieldyieldyield" wrote in message ...
