Why not pause your print jobs? Make sure you have the proper permissions to manage the remote printer spooler.

I don't want to pause the entire printer, 'cause i'm not the only one using it, and it would be detrimental to others print jobs...

And i cannot pause each of my print jobs, because they pass at lightning speed for my computer to the print spooler, to the printer's memory...
