Print queue has 'Deleting - Printed' status on all jobs
Posted on 2008-06-24
I have a Windows 2003 Server / print server printing to a LaserJet 2200 via standard TCP/P port. The jobs are printing successfully. However, the queue is not emptying the printed jobs. Instead, the Status on all the jobs have Deleting - Printed by them. I shutdown and restarted the server last night, but the queue still has the jobs in there. Most of the solutions I read recommended doing a NET STOP Spooler and NET START Spooler so that has pretty much already been tried with the server restart. Any other suggestions?

I would look for updated printer drivers and completely reinstall the printer. Never a better solution when a printer is acting up. Is it happening with any other printers on the same server?
Right click the printer hit and properties, then click on the Advanced Tab, then make sure "Keep Printed Documents" is unchecked
if that does not work, do the following
-->net stop spooler
-->delete all the files in this folder C:\windows\system32\spool\
-->net start spooler
if that does not work, do the following
-->net stop spooler
-->delete all the files in this folder C:\windows\system32\spool\
-->net start spooler
The 'Keep Printed Documents' was not checked (one of the first things I looked for). There was one other printer with one 'Deleting - Printed' job in its queue. I did a NET STOP spooler. The spooler temp directory was emtpy. After NET START spooler, I check the 2200's queue. It still had one 'Deleting - Printed' job in it. I repeat the process. This time, all queues were zeroed out. I am going to monitor tomorrow and see if they build up again.
