[FIXED] How do I restart the spool printer?

Issue

My coworker told me to restart the spool printer. I can't figure out what to do now.

I contacted my HP printer's support forum (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/Confusing-Printer-Terminology/m-p/5584362/highlight/false#M282430) but they're not getting back to me.

I'm afraid I may have messed up my computer. Anyhow, what do I need to do to restart the spool printer so that I can print something again? I'm on Windows XP Dell Inspiron 10.

Solution

Press Win-R, type CMD, and press OK.

Then, type net stop spooler and press enter.

To restart it again, type net start spooler and press enter.

[FIXED] How to restart remote MySQL server running on Ubuntu linux?

Issue

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

There is on MySQL server situated remotely. I want to restart it.

Can someone please give me in detail step-by-step instructions to restart the MySQL server?

Following are the Database server details of MYSQL I got from phpMyAdmin UI:

Server: Localhost via UNIX socket
Server type: MySQL
Server version: 5.5.40-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 - (Ubuntu)
Protocol version: 10
User: root@localhost
Server charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

Can someone please help me?

Solution

1. SSH into the machine. Using the proper credentials and ip address, ssh root@128.0.0.1. This should provide you with shell access to the Ubuntu server.
2. Restart the mySQL service. sudo service mysql restart should do the job.

If your mySQL service is named something else like mysqld you may have to change the command accordingly or try this: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
