How can I clear my print queue?

Clearing the print queue

If you have an unprinted document stuck in the queue, and it's messing up your system, you need to clear it out. To clear the print queue:
Restart with the extensions off (hold down Shift during restart) and locate your desktop printer icon (it may have an X through it). Drag it to the trash to clear your print queue, then reboot.
