There will be time when you need to cancel a print job and trying right-click and end the task won't do a thing, don't get frustrated you can try this,

 

 

1. Type services.msc in Windows start menu search bar and hit enter to open Services. Navigate down to Print Spooler. Rt click on this services and ‘Stop’ this service.

 

2. Next navigate to C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS folder and delete all the CONTENTS of this folder.
