  Thanks for leaving this very helpful tip. Google is amazing too... a couple of years ago I thought it very unlikely that typing "windows document stuck in queue" would get me exactly what I wanted in a second or two.

  Wow! Thanks for this fix. I know you said that why the printer stalls in this first place is a topic for another post, but do you have any ideas about that?

  Glad it worked! You know, I'm not sure as to the root cause of why this happens. Could be corruption in the printer queue or a malformed document.

  The last time it happened to me this wasn't a simple because it happened at work and I almost ruined that printer. It was really embarrassing I never what to repeat that experience. Ever since then I am extra careful with my printing tasks.

  So, did the suggestion in the post work for you? If so, let me know. If it didn't, I would like to find out where it failed.
  Thanks,

  A payroll document froze inside my que and prevented me from printing any checks for any employees! This was definitely a life-saver. Thanks :)

  Wow - thanks for this easy-to-follow and execute solution to an exasperating print queue problem. My old solution took up to an hour removing printers and drivers and then reinstalling over and over. This cleaned up the problem in under a minute. A real time saver. I printed several copies and gave them to friends that have battled this before. Kudos to you!

  tried 3 times, worked on the 3rd, on my pc, twas an option called 'kill process', but the rest worked just as you described in your very reader friendly instruction, the stuck to unstuck took me blissfully under 2 minutes, thanks alot for sharing!
