If you print a lot of documents you may notice that
sometimes your print jobs just don't print for whatever
reason. Most of us know to click the printer icon in the
system tray and simply right click the job and select
delete. This doesn't always clear up the problem: the
job will say deleting when it isn't doing anything. Here
is a way to remove print jobs if that happens. In
Windows open the command prompt on your
computer by pressing Start, then Run, and then enter
cmd. In Vista you need to right click the cmd.exe icon
first and select run as an administrator. Then enter
the following.
net stop spooler
del c:\windows\system32\spool\printers\*.shd
del c:\windows\system32\spool\printers\*.spl
net start spooler

Cool Stuff - PocketFinder Tracking Device
Category
Locate anything almost anywhere, instantly,
with this
nifty tracking device from PocketFinder. This small device,
about
the size of an
Oreo cookie,
can track any item to within 30 feet with a
single phone
call. It works all over the world thanks to
the global
positioning system and cell phone networks.
Put it in your luggage and get
notified when
your
luggage takes a flight without you. Put it in
a child's
backpack and find out whenever they leave
pre-approved zones (the library, school, etc). It
can even
check when your lead-footed teenager is
speeding. It
lasts 7 days on a single charge and texts you
when its
battery is low.
The company that makes PocketFinder also makes
tracking devices for fleet vehicles called
VehicleFleetFinder. These rugged devices fit easily
almost anywhere within a car and give you a wide
array of data about the car's position and the driver's
habits. Manage your company's vehicles more
efficiently with the device's informative reports. You
can see instantly where vehicles in your fleet are, what
direction they are going and at what speed they are
going there at.
