Answer» I have a document that seems to be "stuck" in my printer cache. It will not print and it will not delete. I have shut down the printer & the computer. I have checked all connections. I am unable to print anything else because this document is in the way. I am able to delete all other documents. I have spent hours trying to fix this. oh, I have deleted the document from my computer (and also the program that it originated on) and it is STILL there. I really hope that SOMEONE is able to give me ideas for this... I would really appreciate any help that I can get.

At COMMAND Prompt type in: Net Stop Spooler Hit Enter. Go to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\spool\PRINTERS and delete the files in that folder. Then go back to the Command Prompt and type: Net Start Spooler Hit Enter.Okay, so I am not very computer literate. This may be a stupid question, but where exactly am I supposed to go to find C:\WINDOWS\System 32\spool\PRINTERS?Go Start>All Programs>Accessories, and CLICK on Windows Explorer.:-[I am so embarrassed...
