Hi there you can try this.
Not sure if this will work that well for you but this is what I found worked for me.
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you are on Vista Home Premium, go through the following steps to clear "deleted" print jobs from the print queue.
1) Go to Control Panel
2) Select System and Maintenance
3) Select Administrative Tools
4) Double-click on Services
5) In the list of services, scroll down until you find one called "Print Spooler"
6) Right-click on "Print Spooler" and select "Restart"
7) The "deleted" jobs will disappear and any queued jobs in your print queue will print
Hope this helps. I figured it out on my own without any assistance from the paid professionals.
Cant say if it will work so come back let us know so other can use this thanks.
All The Good Luck. Pineworks

Sounds like the printer spool is frozen.
Assuming you're using WinXP and logged in as an administrator (or with admin permissions)
START
Control Panel
Administrative Tools
Services
Locate the "Print Spooler"
Right click on this and choose "restart"
This
will restart the print queue and will probably try to print the job
again or delete it properly. If it tries to restart, just right click
on the printer job and choose cancel again..
You may need to repeat but that should at least get you back up and running with other print jobs again.

I am posting this in hopes of helping others that are having issues with the Vista print spooler. In my case, I have an HP Pavilion laptop running Vista connected to a wireless hub. I also have a Minolta Konica 2300DL printer that is connected to the network via the wireless hub as well. Ever since obtaining this laptop, I have not been able to print to the printer other than stopping and starting the print spooler to obtain a single print 'job'. After about six months I found a post that contains the fix - I cannot take credit for it! Follow these instructions to get your printer to work:
1.) Go into control panel - I would suggest classic view as it is a little easier to navigate.
2.) Then go into User Accounts.
3.) From User Accounts go into Turn User Account Control On or Off
4.) UNCHECK Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer.
5.) At this point you will probably require a reboot.
Once this exercise is complete, you should be able to print. One more item off of my Honey DOO list!!!!!

You need to refer to method "D" about half way down the page
Once you clear the print job check you dont have any extra printers installed as quite often happens in these situations. If you have then delete your extra printer installations.

2. Type Spool in the Search bar(Vista) or click on Run(XP) and type Spool

Refresh the page. That should clear the print queue now. Try to print again. If problem is not resolved, maybe it's a communication problem. You probably need to reinstall software.
