Print Job
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? -- Regards, Bob Brannon "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ... 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. Cari www.coribright.com "Bob Brannon" wrote in message ... 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? -- Regards, Bob Brannon "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ... Sorry I must have missed it back then... glad it's now fine! (Maybe I was snowed under by Lexmarks!) Cari www.coribright.com "Bob Brannon" wrote in message ... 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! -- Regards, Bob Brannon "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ... 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. Cari www.coribright.com "Bob Brannon" wrote in message ... 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. -- Regards, Bob Brannon |

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. -- Cari (MS-MVP Windows Client - Printing, Imaging & Hardware) www.coribright.com "Bob Brannon" wrote in message ...

Hello Cari,
One last question. Though your work around is helpful, I found that one still has to keep the printer off and keep from restarting the spooler, several minutes, even for only a one page job. Is there anything else that might work fast! Not that I do this all the time, but it does happen occasionally and I have been doing some testing. -- Regards, Bob Brannon "Cari (MS MVP)" wrote in message ...

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. -- Regards, Bob Brannon |
