Cancel the Print Queue

Sometimes the printer acts up and prints garbage. You may see a few characters at the top of 100's of pages. This can happen if the wrong drivers were installed.

 

You may have several documents waiting to be printed. How can you clear the queue?

 

Try it: Work with the Print Queue

Start the experiment by turning off your printer. It is now Offline.

 

Open any Word document.

Go to Office -> Print

 

Open the Printer Queue

Click once on a document to select it. Now, go to Document on the menu bar and select Cancel.

 

You can cancel all of the documents by going to the Printer menu and selecting Cancel All Documents.

 

Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound ->Printers
