My sister still has Win XP. She tried to print a document on her USB printer and now it's stuck in the printing queue. I tried the following:
- Restart the computer
- Restart the printer
- Delete the entry from the printing queue
- From the printing queue choose Printer\Cancel All Documents
- Right click the print job and choose Pause
The status of the printing job now reads "Deleting - Paused - Printing".
Nothing I do seems to get rid of this stuck printing job.
What should I do?
