can't delete printer, print job, or clear spooler folder

[Ed Nazarko]

Sadly, I've found 30 similar messages just in 5 minutes
of searching the last couple weeks of posts - I'm looking
for the same answer... The only solution I've found is
to turn off the printer, turn off the computer, turn on
the computer; the document will reappear in the spooler
window. if you try to delete it now, it will delete
instantly. Then you can turn on the printer, and print
again... until it locks up again.

?????And you find this to be a problem????? Or at least
that was the tone of voice I heard when I paid to talk to
someone at Microsoft support...

Grrrr.
