Killing something in the printing queue? (XP)

Kaiser · Post by **Kaiser** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 2:29 am

Yeah, there must be some kind of API thing to kil a process in the printer queue list? I don't care if it pauses, gets properties or not, just need to know how to cancel a determined process in it (with name, ID, or something that can be identifyable from the printer manager itself). Thanks in advance guys

Moin Kaiser,

for network printers, shell to CMD and check out 'NET PRINT'

Heeey that's a cool command xD what if the printer is local, though?

one quick way would be to share the local printer, then you could use 'PRINT NET' with the share name and using \\localhost as hostname.

I'll delve into this deeper and report back.
