If I see I've gotten more pages entered into a print job than I intended to,
what's the right way to stop the print job and clear any memory glitches so
the printer is OK with the next job?
 
RB,

You can always go to the icon in the taskbar and stop any active print jobs
or you can create a .bat file (put the following in notepad and save it as a
..bat file i.e. StopPrint.bat) using the following:

net stop spooler
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 3
del %systemroot%\system32\spool\printers\*.* /F /Q /S
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 3
net start spooler

It should work as is in Win 2000, NT or XP.

For Win 98 or ME I'm not sure, change system32 to system and see if that
works.

Running on Winodws 98, I get "service name invalid", whether it's system or
system32.
