Temporarily disable printing in Win 2k Pro?

[ikcizokm]

I have a daughter who is still learning to read but loves to play on Disney.com, etc. She uses my wife's PC which runs Win2k, but we're having a problem lately where she prints stuff like crazy. She claims she doesn't know she's doing it--not being able to read the word "Print" is probably to blame here. It's consuming a lot of ink and we're trying to find an easy solution short of uninstalling the printer, since my wife uses it regularly.

One suggestion would be to unplug it, or create a separate user account but that would probably present its own unique challenges to our young one. I was looking for a software fix here... something mutually beneficial to all parties involved.

Any tips?

Thanks!

On easy way would be to go to printers and right click your printer and choose pause printing. This will hold all the jobs in the queue. You can then either delete all the jobs or delete the unwanted ones, cancel the pause and the docs left in the queue will be printed.
