Removing printer setup connections to wireless printerserver

My sister's wireless network is via Wi-Fi Modem w/ Cable.

Yesterday (Monday), I successfully set up the D-Link DPR 1260 wireless printserver to be used with HP OfficeJet 5610 All-in-one.

This morning, printing wirelessly, i.e. no physical connection from printserver to the wireless network, was working fine but after I tested the SCAN feature - success, when I needed to print a letter, it wouldn't print.

Btw, last night (Monday), the successful set-up was with USB port no. 3 on the printserver - I couldn't delete the connection initially connected to Port no 1 btw - but the print dialog box was showing that it was with the printer set up at USB port_2.

Anyway, today, tech support put me on a wild goose chase making me use different USB ports and now all 4 ports have been utilized but none working w/ or w/o network cable from printerserver to wireless network, and I can't delete the printers under "Control Panel's Printers and Faxes" because I get a message that would say "Operations cannot be performed. There are print jobs ...".

I want to remove all these connection set ups made on all 4 different USB ports on the printserver and then start the setup from scratch but this time, leaving physical connection between the printserver and the wireless network (LAN).

I am asking for help in need removing these connections under Printers Faxes under "Control Panel".

On the bottom right of your screen you should have some icon of the printer, right click on it and say open - this will show the print queue, select one job at a time and take the option to cancel the print job. Once all have been cancelled you should be able to delete the printers and faxes.

You might have more than one printer queue (if you named the printers differently) if so you will have to repeat the first step (above).

Good luck

Problem was I couldn't cancel the jobs because they were in the process of being printed. I retsrated the pc and that took care of it.

Yes.
