Saturday, September 03, 2016 – Permalink – Print Spool CleaningWhen all else failsWhen you can't get a document out of the Print queue, here's a suggestion:Type "services.msc" at the Command prompt. That will open the Services Window. Scroll down the alphabetical list in the right window pane until you come to "Print Spooler" Right-click this entry, then select "stop". Open Windows Explorer. The usual path to the spool folder is: C:\WINDOWS\System32\Spool\PRINTERS Delete every file within this folder to empty the print queue Close the explorer window. Return to your Services window. Right-click the Print Spool entry and select "Start" from the list. Close the services window and try printing again. (You can also go to a command prompt and type net stop spooler or net start spooler to start and stop the service.) See TopFreeStuff.com For the brave, here’s a macro that will do the job: @echo off echo. echo Purging the print queue . . . net stop Spooler echo Deleting all print jobs . . . ping localhost -n 4 > nul del /q %SystemRoot%\system32\spool\printers\*.* net start Spooler echo Done! ping localhost -n 4 > nul See all Topics windows <Doug Klippert@ 3:32 AM
