Cancel Printing
I sometimes send a print job and the file is very very large. I try to
cancel printing and it won't cancel. Nothing I do can clear the print queue. I am running XP Pro SP3 and printing on an Espon printer. |

I am running XP Pro SP3 and printing on an Espon printer. This is not mine so I won't take credit for it. Open up a new notepad and copy and paste this in it. @echo off net stop "print spooler" del /q "%SystemRoot%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.*" net start "print spooler" ping localhost -n 5 nul Now close notepad and save the changes. Next rename notepad to something like kill print job.bat ignore any warnings about this file may become unuseable. You have now created a batch file which will shutoff your print spooler, delete your queue and restart your print spooler. I got this from a MVP a few years ago and it works just fine. -- Mike Pawlak |
