(:Description There are times when it seems impossible to remove jobs from the print queue of a particular printer. This is often the case when I play with network printers and get the port settings wrongs: Windows keeps trying to send the print job to a non-existent machine and it becomes impossible to remove the job through the traditional way (cancelling or deleting it from the printer properties). :)

Describe KillPrintJobs here.

to:

There are times when it seems impossible to remove jobs from the print queue of a particular printer. This is often the case when I play with network printers and get the port settings wrongs: Windows keeps trying to send the print job to a non-existent machine and it becomes impossible to remove the job through the traditional way (cancelling or deleting it from the printer properties).

I found the following to be very effective when the print job hasn't left the Windows machine. Open a Command Prompt and type:

NET STOP SPOOLER
CD  \
CD   %Systemroot%\System32\Spool\Printers
(if that doesn't work try:)
CD  %Winroot%\System32\SpoolPrinters
<:vspace>
DIR
(try to identify the .SPL file that is the problem - the date is probably a good clue)
(if you CAN identify it, delete the .SPL and .SHD files
(otherwise  del all the .spl and .shd files)
<:vspace>
DEL *.SPL (or spcific if you can figure out which)
DEL *.SHD
<:vspace>
NET START SPOOLER
