Clear Print Queue via Batch Script
Had a client whose print queue would jam up and they couldn’t restart the printer spooler until you manually cleared the spooled documents. So I stole this piece of code and put it in a batch file. Works wonders!
@echo off net stop "print spooler" del /q "%SystemRoot%system32spoolPRINTERS*.*" net start "print spooler"
Update: The reason the spooler was dying was because when he printed a PDF document he would close Acrobat before the document finished and in turned killed the Print Spooler. Because we charge by the hour, he didn’t want it to be investigated any further, which is fine by me!
How to troubleshoot Blackberry Sync error 0×80040FB3
Basically the long story short, You have a bad (or perhaps multiple) Calender, Task, Contact or Memo entry in Outlook which the Blackberry can’t handle. The only way to fix it without start from scratch is to remove those entries. To do that you need to enable logging by:

C:Documents and Settings
·For Windows Vista™ and Windows 7
C:Users
1. Open the iloptcfg.cfg file using Notepad.
2.Change the MultiJobTraceLog value to 200 (the default is 1). This setting generates the PTTrace.log file.
3.Change the TifLog value to 100 (the default is 0). This setting generates the tif.log file. The setting TifLog may need to be added under the [ilwin] section if it does not exist when using BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0.
4.Save and close the file.
5.Try to sync when it fails review the last entry of tif.log and then delete that entry. Rinse and repeat. I had to remove over 40 calendar entries for a client once, so it’s quite painful. But when you have no options left, you have to do what you have to do…
