Paused Printer (locally) - does rebooting kill documents?

[Kelemvor]

Not sure if this is really networking or OS but here goes...

I have XP on my laptop and print to a networked HP printer. We have company staying over tonight and the printer is in the spare room. It's somewhat loud so I don't want to print right now...

However, I want to go through and set up some things to print and get them queued up so in the morning I can just unpause the printer and have everything spit out.

So, if I go to my Printers area and Pause the printer, I can then print to it and things build up in my queue. If I then shut down for the night, will those documents still be there when I boot up in the morning or will they be gone? What if I set the printer to "Work Offline". DOes that help?

Is it a Laser printer with memory, or an inkjet?
Do you mean shut down the printer, or the computer?

I mean I click on Start, Settings, Printers. I right-click my printer and choose Pause. This pauses it locally on my own PC and doesn't affect anyone else printing to it.

I then print something ot that printer. It will show up in my own print queue and sit there until I unpause the printer.

The question is, if I reboot the laptop, will that document still be sitting on my PC or will it get deleted.

Anyway, the answer is, it will still be there. I rebooted last night to test it and hoped for the best and it worked fine.
