Here's the problem...a girl a few doors down from me has an IBM thinkpad 600x w/ Win2k installed and an HP Deskjet 632C. The printer's not installed correctly...it's got the exclamation point next to it in device manager...but I can't even mess with fixing that right now because they're trying to print off a reciept or something. I friend of hers just ordered a Gateway over the 'net using her computer, and they're trying to pring off some page that had some numbers they need for one reason or another, so they sent them to the printer and closed the browser. Well, the printer just started printing out a line of nonsense characters on the top of each page (I've seen them do this before, can't remember the exact cause though), smiley faces, hearts, etc...one line per page, at the top of each page. Did this until it was out of paper.
Here's what I need to know...that document is waiting to be printed. It's paused as we 'speak'. I've tried going through the history, can't get the page back that they were printing (I'm assuming because it was secure? not sure...). So I can't save the webpage and print later, at least not with my knowledge. I'm wondering where this page is being stored while the computer's waiting to print it properly. Like what temp folder it's in, how I can save it to print later, if this is even possible...
I've done some searches through the different places I thought the file might be with no luck...does anyone know where the files that are queued to print are temporarily stored while waiting to print after the program they originated from has been closed, and how to save them? I don't think it's the absolute end of the world if we don't get this back, but it'd be nice to know how to do it and save these girls some hassle if someone can tell me how to do this. Thanks in advance...
