Never ending print jobs

Hi there,

I had an HP Laserjet 1200 connected to a computer (via the parallel port).
I disconnected the 1200 because I wanted to use a 2100 instead, so I connected an HP Laserjet 2100, installed it and I couldn't print to it. It said there was an error printing to LPT1 do I want to retry.
So, I put the 1200 back and I couldn't print to that either. To make it work, I had to connect the 1200 via the USB port, which is fine except...
... everytime I restart the computer, a whole bunch of old printjobs appear in the queue for the 1200 and proceed to print out.

Anyone know how I can stop this from happening?

Thanks

Emily
 
Delete both printers.
Reboot, cold
reinstall desired printer.

Thanks for your reply Jomama, that totally worked!!

I fixed it this morning by deleting all the printers, restarting and setting all the printers back up again.

I might try to re-install the 2100 later!!

Thanks

Emily
