Angry Deleting Printing

Why is it that every time I cancel a printing job, the status stays at "Deleting - Printing", and the other jobs in quene wont print, and that wont change until I restart the computer?

It does it on my XP computer and my 98 comp.
(there both DELLs)

Good question, gwsmyda. I'd like to know an answer to that one myself, as I, too, have the same "problem."

Try pausing the print job, then when it stops spitting out paper, turn the printer off and delete the job - then turn the printer back on.

Nope, HP printer and a "home built" system.

glc: I'll give that a try the next time I want to Cancel a print job.
