Help: I can't kill this print job

[Andyd]

I am the network admin for our office, but that is only by default, as
I was the only one with much interest in computers when we set up the
network, so I don't have anyone here to turn to for advice.

I can't kill a problem print job. It is from my computer, running
Windows 2000 Professional, to an HP 1150 laser via the network and a
small Linksys print server. I don't know what the problem was with
the job, but it got hung. I have tried.....

1) Deleting the print job. It tells me "Deleting" and is hung on
that. That didn't work, but I have often had print jobs hang when
deleting, so I went to step 2.

2) Rebooting my computer. Didn't help. No problem, we'll try (3),
which I have also had to do before.

3) Rebooting my computer at the same time that I had the laser and the
print server unplugged. This usually works with these problem print
jobs, but no, it is still there.

4) Deleting the printer and adding it back again. Damn if that stupid
job is STILL there even after removing the printer and reinstalling.

Like I said, I am a geologist, not a system admin, although I can fake
it here at our office for easy stuff. Any ideas on how to kill this
friggin' print job so I can start to print again?

Thanks.

What you can do is turn off the Linksys Print Server and wait 3 sec before you turn it back on and that should clear the job. It appears to be stuck in the Print Server, not the computer. If that doesn't work you can turn the printer off and let it reset at the same time. That should clear everything
