4	Click on Printers to open the folder containing your installed printer(s).
5	Double-click on your printer object (i.e. picture icon with the printer description/name). This is the print queue.  Any pending, or currently printing print jobs will be listed here.

Use steps 1-5 in the table above to access the print queue.
Delete all print jobs

•  Click on Printer in the toolbar and then click on Cancel All Documents,
  or
•  Right-click in the print queue and  select Cancel All Documents from the pop-up menu.

Delete individual print jobs

2. Right-click on the highlighted job and select Cancel from the pop-up menu.

IMPORTANT! If a job is stuck in the print queue and cannot be deleted or canceled using the above steps, there may be an issue with the printer spooler that controls the printing options in Windows.  If you observe this symptom, it may be necessary to stop and restart the print spooler.
