| | Can't cancel print job Hi, Why is it I can't cancel a print job without waiting 15-20 minutes? When click on the print job and select "Cancel" it shows "Deleting - Printing" as the status but takes forever to delete the job. If this is a Vista problem I would think Mircosoft would consider fixing it.......... -- Phil |

I'm not sure if the path in the "del" line is correct for Vista. @echo off echo. echo Purging the print queue . . . net stop Spooler echo Deleting all print jobs . . . ping localhost -n 4 > nul del /q %SystemRoot%\system32\spool\printers\*.* net start Spooler echo Done! ping localhost -n 4 > nul Bill |

| | Re: Can't cancel print job It's a USB Printing Support problem. It happens in 2000 and XP. Bill's batch file does what I usually do to clear it, in a much more efficient manner I might add.
