Removing print jobs

Guest

I have 150 computers connected to a print server, with 30 printers installed,
but when a print job is stuck i have to reset the printspooler, isnt there
any other option to remove a print job from the qeue without having the
printspooler restarted.??

Becouse when i reset the print spooler, all the other jobs from other users
are removed also.

I don't have the correct answer, but what we do, is going into the
printer that is giving you troble and delete the job. Yes it doesn't
go away, but you should still be able to print around it. Then I have
job every night, kick off at 2 am to restart the Spooler service and
those annoying jobs go away.

If you find a better solution, I wouldl like to know.

The thing is that i already have an script running, so the spooler restarts
at 6 pm but the main problem is that we cannot print around it. it stays
stuck and multiple users complaining abouth it. i also tried to delete the
file in the root/system32/spooler/printers, but it wont let my because the
file is in use.
