My sister still has Win XP. She tried to print a document on her USB printer and now it's stuck in the printing queue. I tried the following:

  • Restart the computer
  • Restart the printer
  • Delete the entry from the printing queue
  • From the printing queue choose Printer\Cancel All Documents
  • Right click the print job and choose Pause

The status of the printing job now reads "Deleting - Paused - Printing".
Nothing I do seems to get rid of this stuck printing job.
What should I do?
