Hi PawloA,<br />
<br />
so you actually did get the document to clear by restarting the spooler service?<br />
<br />
i have found that going file&gt;cancel all documents seems to speed up deleting rogue print files.<br />
<br />
other things to try are checking if the printer has been set to work offline (in windows, not physically)<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

Hi PawloA,

I have an HP 1350 printer connected to my Pentium4 1GBmem ASUS &nbsp;P4P800-E computer through USB. I recently sent out a document that I wanted to print but the printer was off at the time. I turned on the printer and waited but nothing came out. Now the file is stuck in the printer spooller as I tried to delete the file. It reads &quot;Deleting-Printing&quot; in the status column. If I shut down both the computer and printer then power then up again I still get this one file sitting at the top of the spooler not deleting or clearing and blocking me from printing other stuff. How can I clear the spooler and actually remove this file.??? Note. I tried to stop and restart the printer spooler in the Administrative Tools/Services area and it worked but there must be a simpler way or why won't the file clear if it has started and been slated to be deleted....?

Printer spooler won't clear

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
