If you have not done so,
Clear and Restart Print Services
Print Queue / Print Service Reset
After a print job has been accepted, it is 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
First, check that Windows Update does not need to install updates (or Restart)
Settings > Update and Security > Check for Updates
NOTE: If an update is already pending, install that update > Restart the computer and log in
Next…
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
