UNSOLVED
Dell Printer 924 - Starts printing but stops.
I have a Dell Printer 924 and my computer runs Windows 7. I was trying to print and the message of the progress of the printing shows the percentage of the job but it never finish, it gets stuck in 50% or less, and the printing never comes out. Then I check and I see that the job is still in the print queue, so I go to Windows, System 32, Spool, Printers and delete it. Then I restart the computer and try again but still the issue is not fixed.
How can I fix this?

Techfan15,
First run Delete Print Jobs then restart your computer.
Open the document, click on file, print and make sure the proper printer is selected.
