I have a printer connected thru the samba network to a
linux machine. The printer is currently showing with a
denied access tab but i have access to the linux machine.
I want to delete this printer and re-install it but it
tells me that the printer cannot be deleted because there
are print jobs queued to this printer. There are no
queues. Help!!!
 
Disconnect the printer and use the computer without it for
a minute. Then reconnect the printer before turning on
the computer and let XP detect the new printer. Follow
the steps.
 
go to administrative tools and services. Find the
printspool service and stop it press ok. restart computer.
go to printers and faxes if still there delete printer,
should work now, if not repeat one more time and printer
will automatically be rremoved
