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

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.

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.0
