Cannot delete spooled print jobs

[Guest]

Hi,

I am trying to delete a print job but it is stuck with an error and I cannot
delete it. I remember being able to delete a job from either the registry or
sysem 32 folder before. Does anyone know the path to delete a print job
besides
settings - printers - print que?

Thanks
Matt

What you were trying to think of is deleting the
actual print file in \winnt\system32\spool\printers (may have to boot to safe
mode to do it).
