Scroll down to the Print Spooler service, right-click on it and choose Stop then you have to delete all files under C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\PRINTERS. Once you’ve restarted the Spooler Service, you might have to press F5 in the print queue applet to make the hanging print job disappear

2. At the command prompt, enter: net stop spooler
3. Then enter: net start spooler
4. Bref F5 to refresh the status of the print queue
