Some Help for Windows
Printer Spoolers
Symptom
Have you ever had a windows computer and a printer go
out of sync? When that happens it seems that the printer refuses
to print. The computer may be backed up on several pages or
several documents. To make matters worse when one goes to the
control panel and goes into the printer section and tries to delete
documents, the computer seems to laugh at you. At that point, you
know you need to start over but how? If you try to ask the
computer printer routine to cancel documents it might not pay any
attention to you. Sometimes you have to shut off your printer, and
then restart your computer. Sometimes you may need to restart your
computer twice. Very frustrating.
Possible Solution
One possible solution is a simple "bat" file that you
can put on your desktop. If this solution works for you and your
windows computer, then all you need do is to click or double click to
start it. What it does is extreme. It will stop the print
spooler, and then restart it. Sure, you will have to start over
where you left off in printing. However, the good news is that you
might not need to restart your computer even once. Neat.
You can download the 'bat" file below for free. We
suggest putting it on your desktop. Then the next time the printer and
computer jams, try and see if it can save you instead of pulling your
hair out. Right mouse click on the below link to download it. It
is quite a small file - considering that it might fix such a big
problem.

the bat file for printer spooler stop and start
The code for this bat file is shown below. It of
course is just put into a normal "text" - but one that ends in ".bat"
instead of ".txt".

Alternate Solution
If the above solution does not work for you, try
the following. Hopefully this is easier and faster than turning
your computer on and off once or twice:
-
Right click on "my Computer" and go to
"manage"
-
Expand "Service and Applications" on the
left bottom side by clicking the "+"sign if it is not already
expanded
-
Click on "services"
-
Look downward in the large list to find
"Printer Spooler"
-
Right mouse click on "Printer Spooler" and
select "stop"
-
Right mouse click again on "Printer Spooler"
and select "start"
The alternate solution also should dump the
contents of the printer spooler and let you start over. However,
the "bat" file is more simple to use - if it works for your system.
