How to Delete Print Spool Jobs in Windows Vista

Windows Vista uses the print spool service that schedules print jobs and then sends them for printing. The spooling mechanism permits placement of any number of jobs in a printer queue. If you have submitted a wrong file for printing, the Control Panel tools in Windows Vista allow you to delete unwanted print spool jobs from the queue.
