I don't know if this is your problem or not, but I ran into an interesting
problem the other day.  My OWL program uses classes derived from TPrinter
and TPrintout.  When you print using the TPrinter::TPrint method, TPrint
checks to see how many copies the printer can print at a time.  The variable
is copiesPerPass.  This variable was given a value of zero, and this
resulted in an infinite loop that really filled up the print queue.
  To fix this, you can create a subclass of TPrinter and copy the TPrint()
method from the source file.  Add the line  if (copiesPerPass <= 0)
copiesPerPass=1;  after the call to SetCopyCount.
  I don't know what version of OWL I use, but it came with Borland C++ 5.01.
Also, the problem occurred on a Windows XP system with something like a
Cannon i560 printer.
