| 774080 | 2009-05-15 05:47:00 | I have jobs that I can't delete from the printing queue. In task manager is there a service I can kill/restart that will clear out the 'spool' or whatever the hell won't let go of the printing files? Pic below....

Or you could stop and restart the print spool service, although I don't think that clears the print queue. Type services.msc into the run box and look for the print spooler. |

| 774084 | 2009-05-15 09:08:00 | This is all overkill... All you need to do is paste this into notepad: @echo off net stop spooler del /F %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* net start spooler Then save as any name with .bat at the end. Make sure its set to "ALL FILES" then add .bat at the end. All the batch script does is stop print spooling service, then delete the stuck items in SYSTEMROOT%\system32\spool\PRINTERS and re-start the service. I've also given my batch script a printer icon to make it look cool:p Blam |
