How can I clear my print queue?

[Annette]

My Dell PC (XP Pro) prints to a network printer (HP
LaserJet 2200) which is connected to the network with a
Netgear 'Mini Print Server'. Jobs print fine but stay in
the printer's queue with the message "Sent to printer".
When I switch on my PC in the morning all the print jobs
from the previous day print again! At least they then
clear from the printer queue, but how can I stop this
happening? Thanks.

NetGear does not support bidirectional printing. Uncheck Bidirectional in
Print Properties / Ports.

Generally, Hewlett-Packard, Canon, Epson and all major parallel printers.
Click here for a compatibility list . The bidirectional printer function and
the spooler manager may need to be disabled for the printer to work properly
with the Print Server. In any event, turning on the bidirectional feature
will cause data to be sent somewhat more slowly to the printer.
