It takes forever to delete. Restart your computer.

 

[mobobuff]

Start > Control Panel > Printers and Faxes > Click on Printer in question

Click 'Printer' and select 'Cancel All Documents'. Shut off the printer and reboot the computer. Those things can be pesky basteeches.

Restart or logoff.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

LOL - that group's not even on my list. Does no one hang out in there?

 

[iroast]

Depends on what the HP is hooked up to. Windows, just use the double-click on printer icon and cancel. In unix, lpq -l and then lprm {jobid}

 

[Pepsei]

er, next time just do this, assuming you're running xp, go into services, and restart the tcp/ip print spooler service.
