To empty the print queue, stop the Print Spooler service and remove all pending print files. You cannot delete any queued print jobs while the Print Spooler Service is running.To stop the Print Spooler Service, click Start, Run and in the box enter:services.mscClick OK to open the Services Applet. Locate the Print Spooler Service, right click it and choose to Stop the Service.Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming Windows is installed on your C drive):C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERSDelete all the queued print jobs (select and delete all the files) in the folder so the folder is devoid of pending print jobs.Restart your system to be sure everything is cleared up and that the Print Spooler Service restarts automatically on reboot.Now that you know how to get into the Services Applet, you can check and be sure The Status is "Started" andthat the folder where spooled print jobs go is really empty.Do, or do not. There is no try.I need YOUR votes and points for helpful replies and Propose as Answers. I am saving up for a pony!
