I need a Batch Command to Refresh XP Printer Spooler

by byte2hard . Updated 18 years, 11 months ago

My Print Spool Stops – Problem creating a batch file to fix it. Windows XP pro computer intermittently stops printing to a HP 4si. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the print driver, but haven’t resolved it yet. My work around is a batch file that has the commands:

Net stop spooler
Net start spooler

After I run the batch file, I have to go to Printer Spool Icon in the System Tray and right click to bring up the command Refresh. I would like to know how to place this Refresh command into my batch file. Windows doesn’t seem to auto refresh after the Net Start Spooler command, I’ve waited 10 min.
Thanks
