Print jobs are stuck in the print que under WinXP

Posted: 11-12-2007, 09:41 PM
Hello,

I am running into a problem where I print to an HP LaserJet 5 printer
using HP's driver, not Microsofts. I have the latest PCL5 driver
installed.

I am also using the USB Printing support which is installed by
Belkin's F5U002 (USB to Parallel converter). Printing works quite well
a good deal of the time. Every now and then I will get a print job
that gets stuck in the print queue (when I double click the icon it
says Printing). I can select to restart the print job, pause and
unpause but it does nothing. I have tried

net stop spooler
net start spooler

from a cmd prompt, and that does not work.

I have tried to turn off the printer and turn it on again, disconnect
the USB-Parallel device and replug it. Nothing. I've tried

The only solution so far is that I have to restart the PC. Is there
another way I can get these print jobs to restart properly without
having to restart?

Thanks
Mike McWhinney
