Re: Stalled print job

Thanks - where does the file reside these days? It's not in the spooler
folder...

Since I'm here... from the Command Prompt: net stop spooler

Then go in and delete the file

Then restart the spooler.... net start spooler

You can also turn the printer off for a few minutes as well and reboot the
PC.

I know this group is win2000.printing, but I couldn't find an XP version
of the group - hopefully somebody here can help me...

I have XP Pro SP2 with a stalled print job in the queue. Nothing will
make the document go away. In Win2K, I used to be able to stop the
printing service and then go into a folder where the document resided,
delete it, then restart the printing service. For the life of me, I
can't figure that out in XP.

How can I rid myself of this job in my queue?

Many thanks,
Mark
