Network printer

I have many network printer connected to the seerver. I need to add on more new printer on it. While I am trying to add it through SAM .. it says

"Adding a printer requires the print spooler to be temporarily stopped │ │
│┌─│ but 4 requests are currently either being printed on local printers │─┐ │
││ │ or being sent to remote printers. Stopping the spooler will cause │ ^ │
││ │ the requests to be reprinted or resent. │ │ │
││ │ │ │ │
││ │ Do you want to proceed with the task? "

SO how can I add it without interepting the curent printing

the answer is that you cannot..

the spooler needs to be shutdown in order to add a new queue..

either wait or shutdown the spooler. the jobs should reprint once the spooler is restarted..

AS mentioned, you cannot make changes to the print spooler such as add or delete without stopping the spooler. The is a SysV Unix spooler standard.
