Cannot delete print job

I have a print job pending in the queue, and i have tried to delete it, but it will not. It says "deleting' but it is not, and I cannot figure out how to get rid of it. It is impeding me from printing anything else, even though I set its priority level as low as possible. Help!!! I'm using VISTA and do not see the spool.exe in the Task Manager Processes Tab; is there another exe I should look for in VISTA?

    I discovered that the processes for this printer begin with hp* so I deleted them, and followed the remaining instructions in a prior solution.  That is, I went to c:\window\system32\spool\PRINTER and tried to delete the files; unfortunately I could not delete all of them.  In the end I restarted the computer and turned the printer off.  Upon reboot of the computer and restart of the printer the job that I wanted to kill began to print.  So I didn't solve the root cause; but the printer is now ready to print again.

Try to uninstall USB composite drives that will fix the issue.

Steps:

2.You will get Device manager window popping out.

3.Scroll down to "Universal Serial BUS controllers".Click on the (+) sign.

4.Check for the "USB Composite Device" and right click on it, click Uninstall.(IMPORTANT NOTE:WE HAVE TO UNINSTALL THE PRINTER'S USB COMPOSITE DEVICE, TO KNOW WHETHER IS THE PRINTER'S USB COMPOSITE DEVICE, RIGHT CLICK ON USB COMPOSITE DEVICE AND PROPERTIES,look for wat location says, Eg -LOCATION : HP officejet pro L7500)

5.Disconnect the USB and reboot the PC.

6.Connect the USB after reboot, you will get pop up "Found new hardware".Then the Drivers will be installed Automatically.

The printer turns itself on autamaticcally and wont stop printing
You need to cancel all pending print jobs on the queue. If you see the printer's icon on your System Tray, lower right corner of your computer, right click it and choose Cancel Print Jobs. Or you can double click it so that it will show you the current printing job or those in queue. Select and delete them. If this does not cancel the pending print jobs, disconnect your printers power cord and shutdown the computer. After like 10 minutes, turn the printer and computer back again.

We have a spooling problem. The sharp mx-2300n just says "ripping" and 20% complete but won't move from there and print anything. Can cancel print job from Mac but won't stop anything at the printer end....
Go into the Job review mode and highlight the pending print job (note: it may be stuck in processing). You should then get the option to delete the job.

Make sure that the pending print job is also cleared from the network print queue. They can sit in the queue and be persistent on processing, even after you've cleared the copier. Clear the queue prior to deleting the job on the copier.

If this doesn't, disconnect the copier from your network and try the above steps again, then reboot the copier and reconnect it to your network.

If you're trying to print out Adobe-based web pages from the internet, this may be what's causing your copier to jam up. There's known coding anomalies with Adobe-embedded documents on web pages. Trying to directly print from the web page can stall or lock up the print process.
