Luckily if you have stuck jobs in the print queue, there are ways to delete them without having to reboot. Here’s how to do this on an XP system:

• In a command prompt (or through “Start” then “Run”) type in “NET STOP SPOOLER” (this will stop the print spooler service)
• Go to the c:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ folder
• You should see files there ending in .SPL and .SHD created around the time you tried to print. Delete these files.
• In a command prompt (or through “Start” then “Run”)  type in “NET START SPOOLER” (this will restart the print spooler service)
• Double click the printer icon in the lower-right corner of your taskbar to examine your print job queue and browse to “View” then “Refresh".

The jobs should now be gone…

Har har, off to Spanish lesson.

The link is helpful even though I’ve gone past this stage.

I like travelling but by God, do I hate having to get up at 5am in the morning. Even the cat can’t be bothered to wake up :-)

Dunno why, but I always get nervous before a Spanish lesson. :-}
