My printer has gone nuts. It prints a two liner garbage thing endlessly.
I've pushed all the buttons repeatedly, unplugged it overnite, etc.

How can I clear the spool memory? Just keeps printing the garbage two
liner. I've tried sending it several different print items from the pc.
I'm afraid I may be compounding the problem, if I can't clear the memory.

Have you made sure all print jobs have been deleted.
OR
Re-install if you have the setup disk.
I had to do this a year ago - and so far.......

What happened was a printing job was interrupted. The printer was shut off
prior to completion of the orignally commanded number of copies.

Will the thing finally purge itself if I just keep feeding it paper?
 
Probably, once the complete job has been printed. But if it's a long long
job, do you really want to do that?
