SOLVED it. See...that is all it takes, write it down - and ask someone. Shazam,
the solution comes to me! "clapping". What happened is - if I go into Control -
admin tools - services - and stop the printer spooler system. The pause stops completely.
So I reset the spooler (by right clicking on print spooler) and then properties
- and I changed it from doing it automatically...to manually. It seems to have worked.
