HowTo: Clear a stuck print job in Windows
Friday, August 19, 2005 1:41:49 PM (GMT Daylight Time, UTC+01:00) ( General | Windows Server 2003 )

MS Word crashed in the middle of a print job, and the document was stuck in the print queue, not obeying commands to delete or cancel it, even after reboots.
To fix this, i opened c:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS and deleted all the files there.  If the files are locked and won't delete, stop the Print Spooler service first and then delete the files.
This worked for me!
