Cannot cancel printer document
I sent a document to the printer. For some reason, it isn't printing.
So, I've deleted the document from the Printer window. Or, rather, I've attempted to. * Right-click; Cancel * Printer - Cancel All Documents * Control Panel - Printers - Run as administrator - Cancel All Documents * Reboot the computer * Turn the printer off and on again Yet, still, there's the document, with status "Deleting - Printing". And that means that nothing else will print, because it's sitting there blocking the queue. How can I get Vista to delete that document from the print queue? OS: Vista Home Premium

OS: Vista Home Premium Start OrbSearch boxtype: cmd When cmd appears in Results above, right-click it and choose "run as Administrator". When the elevated command prompt box appears, type: net stop spooler [enter] Leave the command prompt up and go pull the plug on the printer. Go have a cup of tea or something calming. Come back. Plug the printer back in and go to the command prompt and type: net start spooler [enter] Hopefully this will take care of it.

Start OrbSearch boxtype: cmd
What is Orb? In the meantime, the problem seems to have resolved itself. I restarted in Safe Mode, deleted the contents of the Temp directory (I have no idea if that made any difference), and rebooted normally. Perhaps it's that "Go have a cup of tea or something calming" that did it! Thanks for your reply.

Cannot cancel printer document
Starting in Windows 95 and continuing through Windows XP, the "Start" button
was a rectangular button on the far left of the taskbar labeled "Start". In Windows Vista, this button has been replaced with a circular icon featuring the Windows logo. It is still the Start button, but, since it no longer contains the word "Start" and is circular instead of rectangular, it is often referred to as the start "Orb".

It's the Start button that's at the bottom left of the screen.
