If you’ve just submitted a print job only to see it get jammed in the print queue, then you are probably suffering a print spooler error. Another side effect that you might also see with this error is the SPOOLSV.EXE service in task manager will be using a high amount of CPU time. To resolve this problem, you will have to directly delete the files in the Windows folder that the spooler service uses. To clear this printing blockage, follow these simple steps:


 * 1) Click **Start** > **All Programs** > **Accessories**, right-click on **Command Prompt** and choose **Run as administrator**.
 * 2) To stop the spooler service, type **Net stop spooler** and press [**Enter**].
 * 3) Browse to the following folder using Windows Explorer: **C:\​WINDOWS\​system32\​spool\​PRINTERS**
 * 4) Delete all the files in this location.

Go back to the command prompt window and type **Net start spooler** followed by [**Enter**]. You should now be able to resubmit your print jobs and print successfully
