Document Stuck in Print Queue as Deleting...

Hi Lisa,

The print queue displays output jobs that's is waiting to be completed. It has the most current status of all active and pending print jobs. If its not functioning as intended, it's possible that there's a misconfiguration within the printer settings. To
better assist you, we'd like to ask a few questions:

• Which Windows version are you using? Type winver in the search bar and press
  Enter to find out.
• Have you made any changes on you device prior to the issue?

Meanwhile, we suggest that you check the steps provided by Abdul_Malik on this
thread and check if it would help resolve the issue.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Job in print queue stuck

I had a job stuck in print queue earlier. Would not delete, received advice to turn off spooler, empty spooler file file, turn spooler back on. Worked for one document. The second document is stuck no matter what I do, repeated the above steps, nothing
in queue, reinstalled printer software, rebooted printer and pc. It keeps printing the same document regardless of what I am printing. It's maddening!

 

Print job stuck in queue

I have a print job in my printer queue that I cannot get out. I tried printing a website from Microsoft Edge and it is stuck there since. I have tried clearing out the printer spooler as instructed here. But there are no files in my win32\spool\printer folder.

Some more information:
I am trying to print from a laptop to a network printer at work. And the current status in the queue is "deleting".

Things I have tried till now:
- stop printer spooler and empty spool folder
- ran printer troubleshooter, but it just said it couldn't delete the print jobs, just like I couldn't do manually- restarted the printer
- restarted the laptop
- deleted the printer, but somehow when I reboot it adds the printer automatically again, including the stuck job
