Delete print jobs stuck in queue

In an administrator command prompt paste the following commands or convert it into a script.
@echo off
echo.
echo Purging the print queue…
net stop Spooler
echo Deleting all print jobs… ping localhost -n 4 > nul
del /q %SystemRoot%\system32\spool\printers\*.*
net start Spooler
echo Done!
ping localhost -n 4 > nul

If that doesn’t work you can try these two things:

Run sfc /scannow from an admin command prompt

At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
drvload driver.inf
Notes
Driver.inf is the name of the third-party network driver.
You have to specify the full path and the name of the driver. For example, if Driver.inf is on a CD, and the CD drive is drive D, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
drvload.exe d:\Folder\Driver.inf
Type wpeutil InitializeNetwork

To verify network connectivity, type ipconfig /all.

The drive letter of D varies based on how many partitions are on the local systems hard drive.

All updates and computers are reporting no status.

This generally happens on a fresh install of WSUS. An update needs to be applied before the status reporting works correctly.

If you receive a message that an unspecified error has occurred when attempting to activate office 2010 or you receive a message that you need to be an administrator even though you are one. You may need to run a repair of the office install. After the repair process is complete, restart the computer and the activation will be successful the next time you run an office program.
