I don't know about you guys but... When doing a lot of network printing (maybe also when you print via usb) you once in a while have the problem of the print job being stuck in the print spooler, but the printer is ready. You try to delete the print but to no avail. I have been unable to get rid of those darn print jobs without restarting... that is, until it hit me - why not just restart the print spooler service. Voila!

Either I am very stupid, and this post will hopefully just make you laugh, or you have been in the same situation as me and now you don't have to restart the PC :)

It's one of those "I thought everyone knew that" sort of moments.

You can turn it into a batch file to run it quickly if you want:

sc stop spooler
sc start spooler

Yeah I thought about that but I does not happen that often that I will want a shortcut for that ;-) But think I will finally make a batch file arrangement like that for the f@h client... tired of running services.msc and hitting 'f' when playing GTL or BF2 :D

I run 2 FAH clients. This stops them both (one is in the Folding folder and the other is in the Folding2 folder):

sc stop FAH@C:+Folding+fah502-console
sc stop FAH@C:+Folding2+fah502-console

Similar commands to restart them :)

ooh, now the F@H thing looks good... I was wondering how you could do it via command line.
