If your HP printer has too many print jobs stuck in the queue, you can clear them using the following steps:

Method 1: Using the Print Queue Window

Open the Print Queue:

• On your computer, go to the Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
• Locate your printer, right-click it, and select See what's printing.

Cancel Individual Jobs:

• In the print queue window, right-click each job and select Cancel.

Clear the Entire Queue:

• Alternatively, click on the Printer menu in the top-left corner and select Cancel All Documents.

Method 2: Restart the Print Spooler Service

Stop the Print Spooler:

• Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
• Scroll down and locate Print Spooler. Right-click it and select Stop.

Delete Pending Print Jobs:

• Open File Explorer and go to:
• Delete all files in this folder.

Restart the Print Spooler:
