Hi This problem seems to be an issue with vista and how it deals with upgraded drivers. We had the problem with a Dell all in one printer and a new Vista dell laptop. The customer installed the software supplied with the printer, It turns out this was for XP, and didnt work at all.
Uninstalling the driver and installing the Vista package let you print one page and it gets stuck in the spooler. It turns out when uninstalling the XP package it doesnt remove the dirvers or software. When installing teh Vista version it only upgraded Some bits and not all. Solving the isse involves deleting all the printer files for teh XP install manually and then installing the Vista version. By doing this it all works as expected. Sunday, March 8, AM.
For XP if it says deleting-printing Go to run program in the start menu type in services. Go back to the printer window and cancel the pending print documents, they should disappear and you can print as normal It worked for me, it might work for you. Sunday, March 8, PM. Dear Mr.
Don't even try to deny it. This worked! I can sleep tonight! Thank you!!! Saturday, April 18, AM. There are two solutions to this problem, one easy one difficult. A Easy solution expensive Why you have to do it this way is beyond me. If you know what you are doing, you can just delete the ones you want.

How to force delete print jobs Fortunately, there is a way to delete the hung print job without having to save all your work, close all your applications, and restart your computer.

This is a great fix for a home user, but not in a networked environment with a dozen people printing to the same printer. We've been having this issue for a while now in our office and I'm frustratingly clueless. Clearing up a print queue is not a problem but we need a solution to prevent it from happening again and again. I can't keep going to each machine to go through all these steps. Our environment has a mix of Vista and XP machines and what's strange is when a Vista user has printed job, it will not delete from the queue which prevents any others from printing.
Then what's really weird is a different user, who can have an XP machine, will not be able to print to the same printer either and we DO NOT even use a print server; we print directly to ip. I've tried disabling AutoTuning, unchecking SNMP in the port settings for the printer, verified it had the latest Vista driver, etc, etc, ad naseum I'd love to hear about any permanent fixes to this issue.

This means you will need professional support. You should open a support case at microsoft if the problem affects your production. Thanks Cengiz, but I'm not familiar with "updating the core spooler components". Also, how can I capture a spooler dump? Can you please elaborate on that? I feel I've tried everything else. Hi, you should search in Microsoft Knowledgebase for the latest versions of the following components.
Core Spooler Components localspl. First install Debugging tools for Windows to capture a full user mode dump. After that the dump should be analysed. Tuesday, July 7, AM. Thanks Cengiz. I will check this out. Tuesday, July 7, PM. It looks like that someone has removed my last entry. I hope you have copied it? After a reboot I am able to print one job.
That job just hangs in the queue "deleting". I have a bat file that I got from this forum that performs the delete of the print jobs just fine. I run it as administrator and the bat file is successful. Now the print queue shows 0 jobs and the Printers folder is empty.
I go to print and the new print jobs hangs up just as before with status of printing, but does not print. Has anyone been successful with this process? Another very frustrated MS user. Thursday, July 30, PM. Friday, August 7, AM.
Hi, the problem seems to be a caused by a faulty lexmark printer driver. The forum members have mentioned only some temporary workarounds. To proof this problem a full user mode spooler dump is needed but this cannot be done in a forum. You should open a support request at MS.
The problem is known at lexmark as far as I know. If you open a support request at Lexmark with the keyword "ThrowDriverException" they know what to do. They will provide you a workaround or a new fixed printer driver. Friday, August 7, PM. Hi arhitect, please kindly provide us more information about your solution and steps so other users can also benefit from this thread.
Thanks R. It really worked! Monday, August 17, PM. Markxs is on the money! Thanks for sharing. Thursday, August 20, PM. Thank you so much. This has solved my problem. I will keep it in mind for futher reference. Saturday, September 12, PM. Works perfect thank you so much. Thursday, October 1, PM. Wednesday, November 4, PM. This also worked in Windows 7. Thanks for the information, it will save me much further frustration. Saturday, November 21, PM. I had important documents to print out and I had to cancel Betta.
These are the exact issues I was having: Cancel does nothing. I want to download Betta again but I need to know how to resolve the printing issues before I do. Monday, November 30, PM. Thompson and Kompooter you are correct it does work in Win 7.
I have had this problem too long to count, with XP and Vista. Again it occurred in Win 7, which I was surprise that it wasn't fixed.
I found that it is easy to correct in Win 7 thanks to Thompson's lead. For those who have installed Win 7 here is how I resolved it: Control Panel Systems and Security, Find and Fix a Problem Hardware and Sound, Use a Printer This opens a troubleshooting dialog box, click next and the spooling problem gone and the doc in the queue printed. Without the ideas presented here, I was trying everything and getting nowhere.
If this is a spooling problem why wasn't it fix in Win 7 or even in Vista. Tuesday, December 1, AM. Brilliant I have been trying for days to sort this out and with the end task process added - worked beatifully - thankyou. Thursday, December 3, PM. Go to printers, properties, advanced. Uncheck send documents to print spooler- check print directly to printer. The damn spooling can be bypassed!!
I had the same problem on an old Lexmark Oh yes, it works! Tuesday, December 8, PM. Thank you!! This is only thing that has actually worked!!!!! Friday, December 11, AM. Thanks for the tip on restarting the print spooler service! I did not read all the way through but saw the info for vista and used it for XP. Friday, December 11, PM. Well, I have come up with a. The "ping" commands is just to be sure that everything has time to complete an alternative to the sleep command Everytime I get a stuck job, just run the.
I tried the "trash the printer", but don't wanna spend the money on another one Saturday, December 12, AM. I used to be a lower level admin, so I've used a number of different systems.
Off the top of my head I can say for sure some dell laptops and desktops from work. Personally I use Toshiba, 3 different models , and also I've used Hp back in the day. For printers, I've used canon, hp, lexmark There is a way to manually fix this, but I thought that was the purpose of GUI software to make things work at the click of a mouse. Instead I have to open a command windows, or go through services, shut down the spooler, etc etc etc.
I mean let me make a quick analogy. I draw lines in mspaint I actually have other graphic software, but again who's counting. It's really tedious to draw it pixel by pixel or to try to keep a straight line with the mouse. So there is a function that draws a line between any two points.
Wow, amazing! This is equivalent to specifying 2 , d , and g. This cannot be specified with f. If neither r nor f is specified and the names do not match, restoration of the settings fails. This cannot be specified with r. If neither f nor r is specified and the names do not match, restoration of the settings fails.
If neither H nor h is specified and the printer being restored to cannot be shared with the saved share name, then restoration fails.

Ok, then we have a problem! But as we know all problems can be fixed : Start regedit. You might have to restart the Print Spooler service after deleting that key to see the change go through. As always when working with the registry be careful and to be on the safe side create a System Restore Point before doing the edit.
There is an easier way. Please: 1. Wednesday, November 25, AM. You can do it by starting Print Management printmanagement. Many thanks Andreas, my version of W7 is Home Premium and it does not appear to have Print Management printmanagement. So what is going on? Thanks again Andreas, followed your advises and that resolved the issue. You would think that there should be an easier and safer way to delete PORTS, as you correctly pointed out, working with the registry can be dangerous and not for everyone.
Why don't you suggest making this easier to Microsoft. Thank you again, Nevio. I'm glad it worked out! I will keep a note about this issue for further reference :. Yes Arthur, you are correct that is a much easier and safer way to delete unwanted port. I will remember that way of going it for the future. Thanks, Nevio. Everyone's comments will be greatly appreciated. Saturday, March 27, PM. I cannot get into the ports section.
I have several computers and although I am administrator, I am kept from changing this area. Can you tell me what to do to get into this section. Tuesday, November 8, PM.
Friday, December 2, PM. That hasn't worked on 3 machines I tried it on. I get the message that the port is in use. Even when nothing is running. Even rebooted and tried again. Tuesday, May 29, PM. Seriously Microsoft!?
I need to enter the registry to change my wireless printer's port?? Thanks for making things simple Wednesday, July 4, AM. How to clear print spooler in Windows 10 is our next guide. Clearing and restarting the print spooler it comes handy when you are trying to fix print jobs in queue.
