Ok, why does it take forever to delete a print job? The printer ran out of
black ink and I canceled and deleted the job. An hour later the job was
still deleting. This seems to be a common problem with all versions of
Windows. It also prevents one from getting on with other print jobs.

It's not a common problem, but it does happen from time to time. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946737

Instead of creating the command script described in the KB article, you
can open a Command Prompt window and just enter the commands manually.
However, if you create and save the command script, you can put a
shortcut to it on your desktop and use it whenever you have a stuck
print job.

Note: if you are running Windows XP Fax services, the script needs to be
modified; if you run the commands manually, you'll see that the Fax
service depends on the Spooler service and thus stops when you stop the
spooler and must be restarted after you restart the spooler.
