Having problem deleting a job for printer

[dcpsoguy]

I keep on pressing delete, and cancel to cancel a print job for my printer, but the status keeps on saying 'deleting', but it never deletes. If it helps at all, it's a yahoo webpage printout. How would I delete it?

yea i have the same problem some times... printers are always fickle for me. it usually goes away eventually by itself though.

Usually goes away by itself? Is there a quicker solution? 😛 My dad is on my azz about fixing it. 😛

reboot the comp that sent the job and power cycle the printer

Maybe see if you can find the spool settings, and set it to print directly to printer

Didn't work, said you can't do it while there is a queue in the printer jobs.

To the above person, what do you mean by power cycle?

I have XP, and couldn't find 'settings' in control panel.

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> Print Spooler ; From there I'd imagine you Stop it and then Start it up again.
