Running XP Pro Sp1 and using HP Laserjet 6L via parallel
connection.

When I shutdown and restart the computer, my last print
job prints. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.

Try opening the Printer settings. In the Printer tasks, if
there jobs to be printed, highlight them, then select file
and delete print jobs.
 
Hi Lester,

These are jobs that have already been printed. They
shouldn't be in the queue to be printed again.

Your suggestions, which I do appreciate, are a temporary
fix. It is something I can do before each shutdown. I'm
looking for a more permanent solution to why these print
jobs are not being deleted from the queue after they are
printed or why they are returning to the queue and being
printed at startup.

Thanks

Hmm Sounds like you have a corrupted driver, or one thats
ghosting anyway.
Go to the device manager from Control Panel and open the
printer device properties page. Look on the driver info
sheet and copy down all the files entered there. You will
then need to uninstall the item. Restart windows and search
for the files you wrote down. If these found, Physically
unplug the printer from data port. Then remove them to the
recycle bin.

Next - Find the entry in printers folder. If there is an
entry, delete it. Restart without the printer. Next plug the
device back into the port, and if the latest driver is in an
update file - run it BEFORE windows sets its default drivers
up. When the port detect window starts at the end of install
turn power on to the printer, and let windows finish the
installation with supplementary program pieces.

Let me know how this goes.

There can also be other programs which may interfere, but
thats another story.
 
Lester,

One step at a time is good. The problem printer is at
work and I won't be able to implement your
recommendations until early this week.

Thank you for the new ideas. At least there is a road
to go down. I'll keep you posted. Much abliged.

In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed
which describe him in the last days.
Is your quality found on this list??
