A dialog box will appear allowing you to browse the spool file (with file extension . spl) and these will typically held in your $winnt$System32spool directory.This can be caused by a number of reasons, so first, let's understand what a print job traveling from your computer to the printer should look like in the Print Queue. Printing status is the job being transmitted to the printer. Deleting is your computer removing the job from the Windows spooling system.
For most users, the function of the Spooler is transparent. They generate a job for a printer and go to the printer to pick up the output. The Spooler permits users to continue working without waiting for a print job to finish printing. It spools print jobs by directing the output from a user's process to a print file.
Printers have a limited amount of memory, often times much smaller than the size of a document that you are wanting to print. Printer spooling allows you to send large documents, or multiple documents, to a printer and not have to wait for it to finish printing before continuing on to your next task.
A queue is a line of things, usually people. Queue comes from the Latin cauda, for tail. Outside the United States it means a line of people or vehicles waiting their turn, so if your English friend talks about queuing up for the movies, that means getting in line for a ticket.

- Enter the address you want to connect to.
- Click Options.

- Place a check mark in Printers in the Local devices and resources section.
Printer Redirection is the feature that allows a local printer to be mapped on a remote machine, and allows printing across the network or Internet.

Printer redirection was first implemented in Windows 2000 Server. Printer redirection enables the users to print to their locally installed printer from a terminal services session. The Terminal Server client enumerates the local print queues to detect the locally installed printers.
Go into the printers folder in control panel and right click on the printer you want to delete. Select 'run as administrator' and then click delete. If that does not work, try turning off User Account Control temporarily until you get the printers deleted, just be sure you turn it back on for security purposes.
