clear print queue

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I already posted this in a printer NG and got zero response.

I have the HP psc 1310 AIO. I use it seldom, but when I do go to use it, it
ALWAYS prints something from the last time I used it [weeks back].

How do I get the queue to either clear itself when I start the machine, or
clear it when I turn it off ?

I've tried to clear it with the machine on, but if there's more than 1 item it
will always leave 1 item.

Already went that route.

And actually it's happened b4 with an older printer. But that printer being so
worthless I seldom used it. This one works and has the same problem [2
different machines and OS] but still windows OS 98 to XP pro.

I get stuff into that queue and can't get rid of them if I don't print them.

If there's 2 or more items in the queue, your solution will remove all but 1.
BTDT. Already tried that, NG's are a last resort for me now.

I'll hold on to this if my changing the permissions didn't help.
That is a vague term, but I think what it means is the printer communicates
with whatever is polling it. Not something you'd want disabled that I can see.

The permissions may have fixed things. Can't even get the queue filled now.
