Clear a specific printers print queue

[DrB0b]

Hello All,
We have an application server that runs a bevy of network printers for our WMS software. Sometimes the print queue will get a job stuck in a specific printer. I am looking for some way to script clearing a specific printer. We are using HP M404dw and ZD620 label printers, both networked. Not sure if anyone has tried to tackle this before. I cant just clear the queue from the local machine that is using the printer, even if I install it to that machine. I have to log into the server to clear the queue.
Any thoughts?

Have you tried using PowerShell's Remove-PrintJob cmdlet in conjunction with Get-PrintJob first to retrieve the list?

Have a look at Use PowerShell to remove a print job for more info about using Get-PrintJob and Remove-PrintJob. This should do what you want.

Hope this helps...
