I already posted this in a printer NG and got zero response.

I have the HP psc 1310 AIO. I use it seldom, but when I do go to use it, it
ALWAYS prints something from the last time I used it [weeks back].

How do I get the queue to either clear itself when I start the machine, or
clear it when I turn it off ?

I've tried to clear it with the machine on, but if there's more than 1 item it
will always leave 1 item.
 
Hi Husky,

This is not normal behavior.
I would suggest searching the HP web site for driver and firmware
update to the printer in question.

Already went that route.

And actually it's happened b4 with an older printer. But that printer being so
worthless I seldom used it. This one works and has the same problem [2
different machines and OS] but still windows OS 98 to XP pro.

I get stuff into that queue and can't get rid of them if I don't print them.
 
Take a look here and see if there are any documents in queue
Start>Control Panel>Printer and Faxes>doubleclick your printer
Top left, click Printer>then click Cancel All Documents

I obviously left something out of this post.

If there's 2 or more items in the queue, your solution will remove all but 1.
BTDT. Already tried that, NG's are a last resort for me now.

I'll hold on to this if my changing the permissions didn't help.
That is a vague term, but I think what it means is the printer communicates
with whatever is polling it. Not something you'd want disabled that I can see.

Double check that all print jobs are showing canceled and not paused in
their status details. Once canceled, you should be able (unless there's
something terribly wrong with the printer's driver or software) to delete
them.

The permissions may have fixed things. Can't even get the queue filled now.
 
Is that a good thing about the queue at this point?

Guess we'll find out as I need to use the printer. I can only print one page at
a time. I've never seen any printer that could align the paper correctly for
multiple pages. Even a tractor feed was crap.

Okay. Will keep fingers crossed. Hope it works out for you.
