CANCEL PRINT JOB

CANCEL PRINTING REQUESTS
Many printers have a cancel button allowing you to cancel a print job OR

When you give the command to print - the printer icon will appear in the bottom right hand corner in the "system tray" and remain there until your document is about 85% printed.
While the icon is there, you can cancel your print job.

• Double-click the printer icon in the "system tray"
• Choose Open Active Printer to see & cancel documents in que/line.

If you're printing a short document and background printing is turned on, the printer icon may not appear on the status bar long enough for you to click it to cancel printing

If you share a printer you can only cancel a job from the computer that sent the command (so you can't override someone else's print command - unless you are the administrator)
