I have one printer on my LAN. I am running windows 2000. I cannot print on it, it appears that there are a lot of documents pending. How can i eliminate those from my server?

Check the size of printer buffer. If lot of pages has to be printed, give more size for the pool.
The printer will have a Memory (64 MB or 128 Mb .. like that)
You must use a printer with more internal memory if lot of pages are printing a day.
If your print service is not responding to print requests, restart the printer spooler service in services.msc

If you've got permissions on that server just right click on the documents and cancel/delete them. One quick thing you could try is just powering off the printer and then turning it back on. I have run into issues like that every now and then where the printer has a brain freeze or something and rebooting it fixes the problem. When you do it like that you really shouldn't loose any of your print jobs.

Log on to the Win2k server with admin rights. Go into the Services applet and restart the Spooler service. In most cases any queued jobs should print. If you don't want them to print, stop the Spooler service and delete the files from the spooler cache, normally at:
C:\
WINDOWS\
system32\
spool\
PRINTERS
Start the spooler service.

You can delete them on the server, or if you have admin rights you can do it from your desktop. I would delete the job that failed first, and see if the rest of them then print.
