    well that was interesting. I restarted the spooler service, and got the error:
    The server failed to complete 0.000000. print jobs.

    This error commonly occurs when the printer runs out of paper or becomes
    jammed. If this happens, clear the problem at the printer, and then restart
    the print job.

    So it failed to do nothing. Hmmm.
