Windows - Canceling a Print Job from the Computer

You can cancel a print job from the computer if the transferring print job is not completed.

1Double-click the printer icon on the Windows task tray.

A window appears, showing all print jobs currently queued for printing. Check the current status of the job you want to cancel.

2Select the name of the job you want to cancel.

3On the [Document] menu, click [Cancel Printing].

Note

  • In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2, click [Cancel] on the [Document] menu.

  • In Windows 2000/Vista and Windows Server 2008, you can also open the print job queue window by double-clicking the printer icon in the [Printers] window (the [Printers and Faxes] window under Windows XP and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2).

  • You cannot stop printing data that has already been processed. For this reason, printing may continue for a few pages after you cancel printing.

  • A print job containing a large volume of data may take considerable time to stop.
