Stopping printer queue

Sometimes when I try to print with windows XP and my
Lexmark Z52 printer it refuses to print and sends the web
page or document to the printer queue, If I try to print
anything else it just keeps queuing the documents. I can
delete all documents except the origioal one.
When I restart the computer it will then automatically
print the page. Is there a way to stop this or turn off
the printer Queue ? I had the same printer with windows ME
and didn't have this problem. Thanks !!

Not a 100% sure on this but you may want to try stopping the print spooler
service when you can't clear the job out of the queue. Just right click my
computer and pick manage then click services and you'll see print spooler
running. Right click on it and choose stop service. Then try clearing the
queue. You can just restart it the same way.
