It will delete all pending print jobs, so if you've got a bunch of pending jobs and only one of them is being difficult, you might want to be selective with the files you pick.

If 'Cancel print job' doesn't work:
1. Run Services.msc and stop the Print Spooler service.
2. Go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\PRINTERS, select all the files inside the PRINTERS folder, and press the [Delete] key.
3. Once the files are deleted, start the Print Spooler service.

This is the wrong answer.

This is the correct answer:

If you won the lottery, how would you quit in the most funny/glorious fashion.

It’s greater than $40MM. Which is important because I’d be way less ridiculous at $5MM.

I always told my boss I would drive down all the runways at Pearson, crash out the fence, and leave my IDs on the driver's seat, and would never be seen again.

Pretty much any time I print something personal its when it just never comes back.

Also Excel, why are the default settings the most idiotic you could imagine. Yes I want to print this spreadsheet 47 screens left to right, never all the columns on one page, no one would even want that. AI, get on printing settings.

I saw this on Reddit yesterday. Excel is great until it’s not.

Spoiler!

This might be blown out of proportion, I don’t think there’s an “insane” liability around knowing the physical coordinates of your possessions.

So, the mob boss that runs Ontario has pushed through his bill to ram a new highway through protected environmental areas and farmland…

How transparently it was presented in order to get conservative voters to back it is making my brain hemorrhage. It has almost exclusively been discussed as the “bike lane bill”. They are able to remove existing bike lanes in any city they want now in an effort to “help with congestion”… sure that’s part of the bill. But a huge part of it is the ability to TAKE FARMLAND FROM PEOPLE FOR A HIGHWAY, but they’re all cheering for it because it’s making bike riders who live in Toronto mad… and that’s why we do things right?

I've been told these people aren't deeply stupid, but I haven't seen any evidence yet.

It’s everybody on this one. Bike lanes are the discussion. The bill is much worse than that.

Well, I was exclusively referring to people who hate bike lanes on this one, but we can expand it.

Farmland gets developed all the time. What's the problem?

Meh, I like my boss personally. Me leaving would be tough on him so I'd probably give him at least a few weeks to hire a replacement.

I remember a discussion at the office if winning $4M in the lottery was enough to immediately retire and about half of the group thought it wasn't enough?? It kind shocked me that so many people thought that.

The argument generally was, if I am going to retire young it needs to be in luxury, which made no sense to me. It's all hypothetical though - I suspect most would change their tune if they actually won.

[CroFlames]

Make no mistake, I would absolutely quit if it was in the $3MM+ range.

I don't have loyalty to my company, but I do like my boss.

But the prospect of not working and having the time to basically do projects, leisure and self improvement sounds amazing.

Plus I imagine I'd probably devote more and more time to investing, hopefully making that my part time job.

That’s insane to me. $4M is instant retirement. If you won that at 30 you could absolutely live the rest of your life in luxury.

Though I assume a lot of people would just view it as living off of the $4M without considering how to invest it to generate income without ever even having to dip into the majority of that money.

At my stage of life $1 million is enough to walk. $4 mil for sure and enough to set up my kids nicely too. Sadly the lotto ticket purchase strategy as part of my retirement plan has not paid off yet.

Using the 4% rule that's $160,000 year

If you make $160,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $53,196. That means that your net pay will be $106,804 per year, or $8,900 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.3% and your marginal tax rate is 42.0%.

You aren't retiring in Luxury off $105,000 a year. You certainly can retire, and/or take time off work, work part time, and be very comfortable.

But if you don't hate your job you actually can keep working and start living a real life of luxury with an extra $100K a year in income plus your working salary.

4 mil at 5% return is 200k per year. How many people at your work earn that in a year?

that doesnt preclude you from doing something else as well that earns money - something better than fixing the office printer every week
