WinXP - Cleaning print que

Posted on November 6, 2006, 2:36 am by E-junkieChef under Tips, Tutorials, Guides & How-Tos

Just a handy trick I learnt when I wanted to fix my stuck print que (yeah..that's when the print job in the que shows "deleting...' forever). Usually it requires a system reboot to get rid of this annoyance..however alternatively you can do this -

1. Go to Start menu > Run

2. Type net stop spooler and press Enter

3. Wait for the DOS window to open and close.

4. Start/Run/net start spooler

and voila! you are ready to print again :)
