Hello Cari,
Sorry to be so late getting back.
This is the process I used: 1) turn off printer, 2) stop spooler, 3) delete
print job, 4) restart spooler, 5) deleted print job printed anyway.
Do I have to wait a certain amount of time before restarting the spooler?

I'm still here.... I think I live in here!
Try stopping the print spooler and then deleting the print job. You will
have to start the Print Spooler manually after stopping it..... that's the
way it usually works. A manual stop followed by a manual start.

Hello Cari,
I hope you are still there. If I use your fix it works but found that I
can't print again without starting up the service again from XP services.
And, if I start the spooler to soon it prints the job anyway.
Is there a way around this?

Sorry I must have missed it back then... glad it's now fine! (Maybe I was
snowed under by Lexmarks!)

That did the trick! Thank you very much for your help. I initially put
this message out on 3/6/2004 but no one picked up on it, so thanks again!

Go to the Command Prompt and type
net stop spooler
(and hit enter)
This should stop the Print Spooler immediately. Of course, it won't have
much effect if you aren't using the Print Spooler and have changed the
default to Print Directly to Printer.

Hello,
I am using XP Home, and an HP DeskJet 880C.
Sometimes I have to stop a print job by turning off the printer, because
stopping it from within the printer from control panel is to slow.
However,
when I do so I also then cancel printing from the control panel.
Unfortunately, it seems to take 30 minutes for the job to actually
cancel
and the icon to disappear from my system tray. I cannot turn the
printer
on
again before this, because if I do, it will just try to finish the job.
So, is there anyway to get it to cancel quicker? Alternatively, is
there
anyway to get the printer shut down in windows quicker?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
