Print Queue problem

swebb

I started to print a document, but cancelled it through the job as it was taking ages. The trouble, the document remains in the queue and won't cancel. I hit cancel and it says it's cancelling it, but it still remains there. Now, I can't print.

Any ideas?

I hit restart, but it says error in command.

Reboot your pc to clear the print queue

or stop and start the spooler service in start, run, services.msc

Interesting, previously I did reboot and the document was still in the queue. The PC was also running very very slowly.

I turned the PC off (i.e. not a restart) and that did the trick. ALl seems fine.

For some reason though, I can not print the document (it's a publisher file that I just created (quite big with some images, but nothing out the oprdinary)).

Try converting it to PDF and printing that.

There are a few programs out there, I use PDF995, which although free throws up a web page and links to their site each time. You learn to get quite qick with <Atl><F4> !
