   • If the printer is shared by multiple computers, be careful not to cancel the print job of another user.

   • If you cancel a print job that has already been processed, printing may continue for a few pages before being canceled.

   • If you cancel a Locked Print job, the machine might have already stored some pages of the job as a Locked Print file. If this happens, use the control panel to delete the Locked Print file.

   • It may take a while to cancel a large print job.
