Hello,
I have a shared print driver from a Windows 2000 Server. This workstation is
XP professional and has the shared print driver on this workstation. The
local workstation print folder continously shows that this shared print
driver has a number "1" in residing in the print que. I have tried to go to
the "Delete all documents command" and execute but there are no print jobs
existing to delete. I tried going into the
%systemroot%>system32>spool>printers and remove any files that would hang
the print spool up yet there are no files to delete. I tried restarting the
print spool service and rebooting but still did not remove the "1" from
print que. I tested a test print page to theshared printer and it test print
page correctly. Any suggestions? Thanks in advanced.
Joe

Goto your administrave tools then services and restart the print spooler.
That should clear out the print que.
