Can't Clear Print Spooler in Windows XP
I had an unusual problem: a document got "hung-up" in my print spooler, and it would not print. It also would not allow other documents to print. I tried cancelling the document from the Printers & Faxes window, but it would not delete.
After searching the internet for answers, I found some instructions, but had to modify them. Here's what I did in case you are having the same problem:
Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Print Spooler > Right Click > Stop
Turn off your printer.
Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Print Spooler > Right Click > Start
Start > Printers & Faxes > Double Click on Your Printer > Printer > Cancel All Documents
Turn on your printer. You sould now be able to print a document.
Let me know if this works for you.
