You did not mention your Operating System / version.

 

The following applies to Windows.

 

Print Queue / Print Service Reset

 

After a print job has been submitted, it is very quickly turned over the Windows Print Services for completion.

 

When a job is "stuck in the queue", it is sometimes due to Print Services having hung, become stuck, or otherwise failing to properly complete the job.

 

 

Start Here:  Print job stuck in Queue

 

and / or

 

If the current print job will not cancel or if a previous print job is stuck in the queue,

and

If the issue is due to Print Services being stuck / hung / corrupted, Restart the Print Service

Manual Queue Reset

Details…

Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools > Services

Scroll down, find, Right-Click, and Stop Print Spooler Service

Open File Explorer (formally Windows Explorer)

Navigate to the folder and Delete the files from folder C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS

Start Print Spooler Service
