Are you the guy who keeps returning his computer to the store with the
busted CPU? For the last freakin' time, don't reboot the computer by
removing the CPU.
But seriously, I think you'll find printing is spooled on any OS that
isn't completely third world. I agree that it's often annoying and
confusing for a user who's trying to stop a print job, especially if the
printer has also buffered a large piece of the job.
