Windows print spool file

Subject:Windows print spool file

Is there a way to tell the spooler to close and finish the current print
job?  I have Delphi 7, running on Windows XP Pro.

I am working with a 3rd party product (no source available, a standalone
program) that spools reports to a shared Windows printer, and the last report
leaves the last page in the queue.  The only way to get it to print is to
have the program either print another report or to terminate.  Terminating
the program is not an option, as it is in use for 10 to 14 hours per day,
and the reports are needed when printed.  I have setup a "report" to print
a blank page, but would prefer a method that does not waste a page for each
user print and the requirement that the user print the blank page "report"
after their actual report.

Thanks.
