Windows not printing – try this quick fix

If you find that windows is not printing, and you’ve done the obvious things ( print off and on ), then sometimes we find that specific print jobs can crash the windows printing system, and these three commands can often fix the issue.

First open a CMD window as an administrator ( Search CMD, click on run as admin ). Then type in these 3 commands

wmic printjob delete

net stop spooler

net start spooler

It’s just worth pointing out that the wmic command will delete any jobs waiting to be printed, so you will have to re-sumbit any jobs that are deleted.
