Thanks!
You are most welcome and I hope this software was of some help. 🙂
Can this app handle multiple printers installed in one machine? For example, I have 3 printers installed and shared in a network. Only one of these printers I need to monitor and need to Cancel/Purge all printer queue every now and then. How can I do that using your app?
Thanks, Rey
This application will clear the entire printer queue of all local printers attached to a computer. There is only one printing service in Windows, irrespect of the number of printers attached. Thus, stopping that service stops printing of all printers.
Thanks for your time Shamasis, but I already have my answers in my own questions.
Yes, you are right about one thing, the Spooler service. But, maybe to enhance your application, you might take a look at my blog (http://real050280.blogspot.com/).

Indeed Rey. Your post was very informative. Will take cues from there and implement something where you can selectively choose which printer spool to clear.
Thank you so much. I am running Win7. My HP 5P laser printer died in the middle of 5 print ques. I hooked up a HP4L to the computer, it installed the 4L in wihth the 5P. I could not get the print ques deleted so I could delete the 5P printer that was no longer there.
Your “fix” worked well. I got all of the “old” 5P drivers uninstalled no problem once the print que cleared. I could then rename the $l to my favorite default name.

Thanks…
Glad to be of help. 🙂

There are various ways to reset ink level of HP Printers. This is something that is not recommended by HP for reasons. However, hitting: “reset ink level of hp printer” on Google will give you a very good set of result. Apply the one that is meant for your printer.
thanks ill try
When displaying your screen on a wide screen monitor, I cannot read what is your left side display box clearly. Can you reset your screen displays?
What is your target screen resolution? And are you referring to this page or the app?
