1102w - cannot clear print queue to reinstall driver

[Garett19]

I want to uninstall and reinstall the printer driver.  Error message on Printer Uninstall List is:

" **WARNING:  One or more of the printers listed above have pending print jobs.  Printers with pending jobs cannot be removed until the jobs are completed."

The print queue is no longer accessible to delete these print jobs...!  Please help?

Hi,

Click the start button and Type Run, then click on Run within the search results.

Type Spool and press OK.

Open the PRINTERS folder and confirm any prompt, be sure to leave that window open.

Click the Start button and type CMD into the search bar,

Right click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.

Type net stop spooler and press Enter

Within the PRINTERS folder delete any file so the folder remains empty and close that window.

Within the command prompt dialog type net start spooler and press Enter to restart the print spooler service.

Now try uninstalling the software and check for any difference.
