I hadn't realized I hadn't deleted an old printer that I no longer have.   By accident something started to try

to print on the old printer....is there a way to move it out of that print queue and onto another printer?

I am trying not to have to delete the print and cannot cancel the printer and delete it because it says it is

trying to print so it won't cancel or delete.   There should be an easy enough way to just move the print queue

to another printer....It shouldn't be this tough.....Thanks.

Rebooting the computer or stopping the spooler service in the services menu and then restarting it will remove the jobs in queue. There isn't a way that I am aware of to transfer a queued job to a different printer.

It seems like such a shame. I use to be able to do it at the office. It should be a minor software option to move something from one print queue to another, instead of having to lose your information...not the answer I wanted, but at least I won't waste any more time on it. One would have thought it would be a common request. Thanks tho.
