How do I clear a stuck print job?

Short answer: Cancel the affected job through the normal queue first.

Try these steps

  1. Open the printer queue on your device and identify your stuck job.
  2. Cancel it and give the queue time to update. Check the printer for a displayed error.
  3. If necessary, restart your own printer and computer after saving your work, then retry one small document.

When to ask for help

Do not clear shared business print queues or restart shared print services without checking other users.
