How to delete the data in the spool manager.

In the spool manager, the installed drivers and the list of the documents waiting to be printed are shown.

Select the document to be deleted and check delete in the menu.

If the job you are deleting is the current job when you delete the job data that has already been transferred to the printer’s memory will still be printed. If there is a problem with the printer (out of toner, offline, out of paper etc.) the job may take a long time to delete as it must wait for a time out.
