Cancelling a print job

Options
Hi
I have just instructed my computer to print off some documents.

But I didn't realise that there are 433 pages!

Luckily the paper has ran out after 6 pages.

How do I cancel the rest of the print job?

Thanks

    It's ok.

    I've sorted it out.

    Thanks anyway.

    I find pulling the power cord out of the printer is a good start :)

    then worry about going into control panel > printers & faxes to kill the job....

    Hehe - how many of us have been there? I tried that in an unfamiliar office a few years ago. What I didn't realise was that there was one of the little HP network print servers hidden behind the desk, so every time I powered the printer back on, it just started printing again. How I laughed (eventually)...

    Could be worse. A chap at work spooled a large report but only wanted 1 page of it. Instead of selecting 'page 4' he picked 'quantity 4'.
    Recycling bin filled up quickly that day.
