Clicked on the “Print” command? but realised that you forgot to change something?

You may even know to use the Printer Spooler function in Windows XP and Vista. But it just shows it’s deleting the Print job but takes forever!

Here’s a quick tip.

Open a command prompt (go to Start | Run, then type cmd) and enter the following:

net stop spooler
del c:\windows\system32\spool\printers\*.shd
del c:\windows\system32\spool\printers\*.spl
net start spooler

It should kill all the pending jobs to your printer…

You can download the batch file from here.   killprinterjobs.bat
[Please check if your folder names are the same before using!
Right mouse click and save it to your main hard disk directory to run from cmd.]

Save some trees and recycle your paper.
