Hi Paul,
Creat a new notepad document and open it,next copy and paste this into it.


@echo off
net stop "print spooler"
del /q "%SystemRoot%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.*"
net start "print spooler"
ping localhost -n 5 > nul


Close the documant and rename it to this

Kill Print Job.bat


I got this batch file from an "MVP" sometime ago,sorry but I can't remember
which one but the credit goes to him.
The next time the printer's queue takes forever to delete try double
clicling this batch file.It works for me.

P.S. You may get some responces from people that tell you to update your
printers drivers, that won't help, this problem seems to be a minor bug in
XP and has nothing to do with the drivers.
