Print Job Doesn’t Delete on Windows

Isn’t it annoying when a printing job fails to print and when trying to delete it from the queue is gets stuck and you can’t print at all! Well I get many people asking me about this. Something I have done and works every time is resetting the Print Spooler Service. This is very simple and has always worked for me.

1 - Go to START/ CONTROL PANEL/ ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS / SERVICES

2 - Locate Print Spooler on the list
3 - right click and select RESTART

Now check the printer’s queue and it should have cleared the job that was being deleted. Note that any active or queued job will continue in the queue and start to print, only the job with status “Deleting” will be removed.
