Comment on How To: Clear Print Queue In Windows Vista Or In Windows 7 by Rocky Fjord

Rocky Fjord — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:29:59 +0000

I was with you until you said “Navigate to the following directory….”
If I knew what or where or how to navigate, I’d be in good shape.
Unfortunately, my computer doesn’t want to tell me where this directory is at or how to navigate to it? So I’m still stuck. Why is it when
you press stop/clear settings, or cancel print on PC, the damn thing
will continue to print out the 50,000 pages you set in motion hitting the print button on the new job you wanted to print but it wouldn’t print? Why is everything so complicated?
