Printing problem. Printer prints everything from previous day...?

I'm having a problem. After a day's worth of printing (HP Laser Jet 1200), the next day, when I turn the computer on, the printer prints everything from the previous day!!

How do I fix this!

Update:

I am very stupid when it comes to things like this....so please be more descriptive...

Update 2:

Printer is linked to four other computers.

This is the only computer that does it.

I don't know if this is a Vista problem or what, because before I had xp no problem. Once I got a new computer, it started doing this.

Got an acer first, didn't like it, did the same thing, then got an hp and it is still doing the same thing.

Update 3:

When I print the document, it prints. THen the next day when the computer is turned on, it prints everything from the previous day.

Update 4:

I just tried to print something right now, it printed, but the icon in the lower screen still shows a pending document.

I would like to fix this correctly, and not have to clear the documents.

Update 5:

BEST ANSWER THAT HELPS ME FIX IT, 10 pts! thanks

    Is the computer linked to a print server? If not, just try deleting the printer and installing it again with the newest drivers.

    Yes we can. We have had the technology to send people to other planets since we visited the Moon. BUT…. We don’t have the economical resources to finance such project. If you do some research, you will find how many times NASA have tried to present the US Government a decent plan, including one time when the Government actually requested a serious and probable plan to go to Mars back in the 90’s. NASA gave a good project, with massive ships, massive stations orbiting both earth and Mars, and big bases on both Mars and the Moon. But when the Government saw the price… $400 Billion plus… they just laugh and closed the file and gave it back to NASA and told them “when we said serious and probable, we meant that, nit to recreate a Star Wars or Star Trek Hollywood movie film”. We could have already a colony in the Moon and have already started also one on Mars if it wasn’t of “money issues”. If you look at NASA’s latest proposals, which are actually already approved for the most part and set on motion, we are going back to the Moon, and from there to Mars. But this time, we are using “cheap” and small ships, hoping they can always meet the budget. At the rate we are, I wouldn’t be surprise if the first ships with humans that go to Mars have stikers all around from private sponsors like McDonalds, Walmart, Ford and GM.. and big stickers all around that say “Intel Inside”… lol

    You must have clicked print while the com is not connected to the printer. When the com is connected to the printer the next day, it starts...

    find your printer icon on your computer, click on it, it will take you to a list of jobs; when it does, clear them (delete them)
