Can't cancel print job
I have a Dell 2330 printer networked to a Windows XP computer. A print job
failed part way through (Firmware error on printer) and I cannot delete it from the print queue. I have re-set the computer, I've even tried to de-install the Dell aplications, which deleted everything except the particular version of the printer (PS3), but still it sits there. Everytime I re-set the computer and the printer it tries to print the file again. Help -- Stuart Winsor Tools With A Mission sending tools across the world http://www.twam.co.uk/ |

Help There are a couple of things you can do. 1st: Go to Printer and open the print buffer for the printer you are using. Delete the bad print job. 2nd: With the file removed from the computer print buffer, un plug the print count to 100, and plug it in. Most computer have some memory for storing the print job on the printer. By unplugging it and waiting, the printer memory will be erased. I always considered this as doing a Lobotomy. Periodically I have had to do it on every piece of computerized equipment I have ever used. 3rd: If this computer is being accessed from the LAN, find the print server and unplug it count to 100 and then plug it in. There is memory in the print server that has to be erased. Once this is done repeat the 2nd item above, as the print server may have sent the print job to the printer. |

Can't cancel print job
From: "Stuart"
I have a Dell 2330 printer networked to a Windows XP computer. A print job failed part way through (Firmware error on printer) and I cannot delete it from the print queue. I have re-set the computer, I've even tried to de-install the Dell aplications, which deleted everything except the particular version of the printer (PS3), but still it sits there. Everytime I re-set the computer and the printer it tries to print the file again. Help The question is where is the job stuck in the Queue ? On the WinXP Print Server or on the PC using the XP UNC ? In either case. open the Queue and choose "Delete" to delete it from them queue. Then on each PC ( the Print Service WinXP PC and the PC printing to it ) open a Command Prompt and type.. net stop spooler { let that complete then type } net start spooler Then refresh the view of the Print Queue and if the job is still there delete it again -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

Sorry Keith but you are going to have to simplify these instructions a bit for an old duffer like me. From the beginning: I sent a job to the printer and part way through it stopped. I went to the printer and it said "Firmware error" I turned the power off, counted to 10 and turned it back on again and all seemed normal but printing did not restart. (X) I went back to the computer and nothing was happening. I went to "printers and faxes" and when the window opened, I opened the printer, selected the document (there was only one) and selected "cancel". It said "deleting" but nothing happened. After several minutes, and I do mean minutes, it was still sitting there saying "deleting" At this point I turned the computer off. After the computer had come back on, it started printing the document again, from the beginning, then stopped at the same point. The printer was again showing "Firmware error". I re-set the printer once more. Now go back to (X) and repeat the loop several times At this point I invoked Dell's de-installer but the "PS3" instance was greyed out. (The printer shows up with three identities, PCL, XML and PS3) I went ahead anyway However I still have the printer (PS3) showing a document In the "Printers and faxes" window and I still cannot cancel it. There is no print server involved. We have this XP machine, a W7 machine, a couple of NAS boxes, this Dell laser and an Epson WF-7515 (both printers have built in network ports), a router and a couple of switches. -- Stuart Winsor Tools With A Mission sending tools across the world http://www.twam.co.uk/ |
