How do I cancel a print job from Windows 10 OS?

Hi John,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is highly appreciated.

I understand that you wanted to cancel a print job in Windows 10.
I will be happy to assist you with this.

Please follow the below steps and check if that helps.

• 
  From the desktop's taskbar, right-click your
  printer's icon and choose your printer's name from the pop-up menu.
  
  To see your printer's icon, you may need to click the little upward-pointing arrow to the left of the taskbar's icons next to the clock.
  
  When you choose your printer's name, the handy
  print queue window appears.
  
• 
  Right-click the document to cancel the print job and choose
  Cancel to end the job. If asked to confirm, click the Yes button. Repeat with any other listed unwanted documents.
  

Note: Your printer queue can take a minute or two to clear itself. (To speed things up, click the View menu and choose Refresh.) When the print queue is clear, turn your printer back on; it
won't keep printing that same darn document.

Please let us know, if you need any further help and we would be glad to assist you further.

Thank you.

Wish it was that simple. I go through the steps you have noted each time that I run into a printing problem. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve anything. Following the attempted (but failed) cancellation of a print job I then must open the printer troubleshooter.
It determines that there's an issue with a document in que that is stuck and it performs some action related to the spooler. That cancels the document that is stuck and allows the subsequent document to print. I haven't had time to investigate further to eliminate
the problem once and for all, but am happy that I can finally print documents even if it takes several steps to do so.
