How do I clear a network printer queue with the DOS prompt? -

You cannot access a Windows or network printer queue with DOS, you have to go into Windows or have access to the network server/OS along with the proper privileges to affect any changes to the queue by opening that printer s queue, selecting all of the jobs you wish to cancel, right click and select Cancel All Documents. If you re trying to clear the printer s buffer of any in process jobs, usually there is a Cancel button you can use for each job as it comes along or turn off the printer. The Print commands mentioned by others only work with DOS spooled documents. Best of luck.

I do not have experience with DOS or a network computer, but normally you would go to Printers, double click the relevant Icon, click Printer, and then click Cancel documents.

try print /c

print /t
