Print Jobs Will Not Cancel or Delete 2

[byrne1]

I have two printers that are giving me fits. They both have one print job each that has error'd out and will not print. Each one also has a lot of pending pring jobs (110 in one case, 83 in the other) that will not cancel.

I have tried to cancel each print job, cancel all print jobs, and I've even tried to delete the printers off of the system - nothing works.

What should I try?

id you try restarting the spooler service?

Stop the print spooler on the print server.

Delete all files in the spool folder, on my PC it's
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS.
You can double check this by going to:
start, printers and faxes, file, server properties, advanced.

That did the trick! Thank you both for the on target advice.
