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?

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.

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?

Enough time to 'lose' the job....which of course will depend on how big it
is and how much has already been sent to the printer's memory. Thankfully
most home inkjets only have tiny RAMs (buffers), but some commercial laser
printers have a lot! The amount of the job already in the memory of the
printer will continue to print.... unless the printer is turned off and the
data 'forgotten' about.

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.

Default Print Job

Enough time to 'lose' the job....which of course will depend on how big it
is and how much has already been sent to the printer's memory. Thankfully
most home inkjets only have tiny RAMs (buffers), but some commercial laser
printers have a lot! The amount of the job already in the memory of the
printer will continue to print.... unless the printer is turned off and the
data 'forgotten' about.

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?

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?

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.
