Editor's comment: PowerPoint 2010 is the most modern presentation application from Microsoft comes with multiple advance features that older versions sometimes can’t read. Converting slides from PowerPoint to images might be a simple solution in this case.
We have already covered various awesome features included in PowerPoint 2010. If you have created a nice presentation, you can also save it as images, each slide converted to an image. This would be handy in case you find that the PC where you want to show the slideshow does not have Office 2010 installed. PowerPoint allows you to save the slides as images in either .PNG or .JPG format.
Editor's comment: Print Spooler is such a queue where all print jobs will be there waiting to be printed. By some cases, you just need to delete a print job but can not, so try Stalled Printer Repair.
Every Windows user must have encountered the problem of stuck Print Jobs at one point of time or the other. Howsoever hard you try to cancel the print Job from the Printer Jon Queue, but it simply refuses to cancel the job and you are stuck up waiting endlessly to get the next print job executed.
Repeated Switching ON / OFF the printer is of no use and the only option looks to reboot the computer and do it again.
