Hung print software

[Let'sgoflying!]

Anytime I cancel a printjob, it hangs up mid-deletion and I have to restart the computer to print anything again.
What I'd like to do is to identify the Image Name in the Microsoft Task Manager window under Processes and terminate it from there.
Anyone know the name of the Process I need to suspend? None of them look like they have to do with printing.
Thanks again!

I have the same problem from time to time. Here's how to fix without rebooting:

1. Start > Run > services.msc
2. Find and select "Print Spooler" in the services list.
3. Click the Restart the service link, or (alternate method) right click the selected service and click Restart
