Yeah, I have the same problem with my wife when the printer won't stop.
I obtained a small script somewhere - just a command such as "print spooler
stop" (I can't remember what it was now). It also had a delay of 10 seconds
or so to allow the buffers to be cleared and then a printer start. This can
be called from a shortcut on the desktop so that it can be quickly executed.
This topic was possibly raised in microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize
forum. Some MVP (possibly Kelly) supplied the commands. I found it useful,
but I deleted it for some reason, so I now use the longer method of opening
the printer queue and cancelling from there.
