So slow in cancelling/deleting print documents

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

situation:

I'm using HP DeskJet 810c --- my problem is, everytime my printers
jams.. as soon as i clear the jam, the printer problem will start.. the
printer will not stop blinking and it will start printing weird
characters..

my solution is: i CANCEL the documents being printed because as long
the document is in "printing" status.. it will not stop printing
'unusual' characters

the REAL problem:

It took so long to cancel or delete the documents being printed...
sometimes it takes more than 10 to 20 minutes! You know how it feels to
wait 10 -20 minutes if you are in a hurry.

When i'm still using Windows 98, CANCELLING print documents is done in
seconds!

I'm using Windows XP Professional now...please help me. Thanks
