Help! My printer won't print any new documents!?

Question

Because there is this one document that is deleting... but it hasn't been deleted yet... no matter what I do it won't cancel... so now, I have to wait for it to fully cancel before printing out anything else....

HELP what to do?

I've been trying to delete it for over a week... it's getting frustrating

Answer 1

if rebooting your computer does not work. depending on your operating system there is a print spool folder. if you are using windows xp, do the following:

go to Start | Run and then type: net stop spooler
hit enter
Then go to C:\Windows\System32\Spool Printers and delete anything that you find in there.

When the files delete go back to Start | Run and then type: net start spooler

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Right-click on the printer icon on the bottom right of the screen.
Open printers.
click File or Documents
click Cancel Print

Answer 3

Restart your computer and reprint. This is all you basically can do. Parts of the document have already been sent to the printer. If you turn off the printer and then turn it back on, it may help, but this usually just leads to its own set of problems.

Try restarting, and if that doesn't work, unplug/turn off the printer.

Answer 4

Restart your computer. Try printing again.

It sounds like its still in memory, so re-booting SHOULD do the trick.

If not, and the problem persists, un-install the printer and re-install. Or update the drivers.
