ok i posted the other day about a network error i had but that has since been fixed... my problem now is that all the jobs stay in the print que... even after printing... so if the computer were reset it re-prints all the stuff in the que... please help as soon as you can :) any ideas i will try... gotta get it working for the boss
 
Stop and start the spooler service on the print server to flush what's still on the server. Then unplug the printer to kill whatever it already downloaded.
 
how do i stop the print spooler? its just the basic windows que im talking about?... i can go in and delete all the stuff in it to clear it... but ive tried restarting everything.. ? still does it
 
start > run > services.msc

stop/start print spooler service as zamboni said
 
ok ive tried stoping and starting the print spooler... ive tried deleting the printer... ive tried updating the software??? is there anything else that might be making it do that?
 
Stop the print spooler, go to C:\windows\system32\spool\printers and delete anything in there, then start the spooler again. That always works for me.
 
well the solution was to disable bi-directional printing.... :confused: whatever.. works now...
