I'm trying to delete a couple of print jobs from a printer and when I cancel, I get deleting-spooling message within status. &nbsp;I've turned off the printer and attempted to delete from the specific users machine as well, but nothing. &nbsp;Going to try to restart the print spooler now, but not sure if this will resolve the issue.<br />

Been seeing many issues with this printer lately. &nbsp;I noticed that we have an XP and Win7 driver and they each have their own print que. &nbsp;Most users are printing from Win7.<br />

Any suggestions?

Can't delete print jobs from printer

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
