As I say, I didn’t try this, but it may work. I didn’t try this but if you google something about “purge print queues” you will find some ways to get rid of the offending print jobs by temporarily stopping the spooler service, deleting the jobs, and restarting the service. So you may not have any restore points you can use.

The solution I found was to use System Restore, but, for reasons unknown, I don’t believe this is activated by default in Windows 10. It locks up the print queues and even a restart doesn’t clear them.

I ran into the same problem with Nitro PDF Creator. I can print to the Windows fax driver and the XPS document writer. When I try to use these devices, the source program goes into “Not responding” mode and just sits there. You can free download PrimoPDF and safe install the latest trial or new full version for Windows 10 (x32, 64 bit, 86) from the official site.I upgraded my system on the first day and most everything seemed to go fine except for printing to my networked HP laser printer or a PDF printer driver from Nitro.

Then create a virtual printer as if it were a printout of the file and stores it on the hard drive of your computer. You can from almost any Windows application convert a file to PDF format by clicking print and then clicking for PrimoPDF. PrimoPDF is a PDF writer free download is. However, if you are a PDF file you will need a PDF writer is needed. PDF files open and read you can do it for free with the standard PDF tool Adobe Reader.
