Cancel printing documents on the printer

Situations in which you urgently need to stop printing sent to the printer happen often. This is both a mistakenly open file, a jammed paper, and errors in the document. The printed version becomes simply unsuitable for use. Therefore, so that the task does not go "empty", no paper and ink wasted (toner), it is most logical to stop the execution of work. Then knowledge will be useful, how to cancel printing on a printer.

Immediately stop typing

It is possible to manually cancel the execution of the print mission set before the equipment quickly - it is enough to turn off the power to the equipment. For different devices, this button may be in different places (for example, with a Samsung printer, it can be found on the back panel).

But this opportunity to use is not recommended: nevertheless there is an interference with the work of a complex apparatus.Such an incorrect "behavior" can bring to the corresponding consequences, and the least of them - paper will be closed up and the device will have to be disassembled.

How to cancel a process from a computer

Consider how to remove the task directly from the PC (laptop) for any such device (from Canon to Hp). The teams will be the same. for all kinds of windows os. To run them on a computer, do the following.

1. On the toolbar in the lower right corner of the desktop is printer icon. Sometimes it is conditionally invisible (minimized) - for visualization it will be enough to click on a triangular symbol (located in the same specified place).
   

2. Right-click a computer mouse on the printer icon. A menu opens in which you will need to select the device name.
   

3. The program will open the dispatch window, it will display all located documents in line. If you want to remove one of the sent files in the print queue, the line with it is highlighted and the Delete button is pressed.
   
4. Need to remove all the tasks? To do this, select the “Clear print queue” command in the “Printer” pop-up window.
   

Sometimes these combinations do not work - in this case, you will need to completely reset and restart everything started. Start with the rollover Win + R. In the dialog box that appears, enter the services.msc command and press Enter. Next, it will remain in the opened new window to find and start the process “Print Manager”.

These rules are valid both when working in Word (most often used by the program), and when printing from other utilities.

Possible problems

After completing all these steps, the user must understand: there will be no instantaneous stopping of the printing process. This circumstance is due to the fact that the printing device has RAM - built-in RAM. It is a kind of buffer for storing documents arriving at the apparatus (print queues). Therefore, some time after the issuance of the cancel command, the technician is still able to continue working.

Another reason for the delay in the execution of commands is the work of some versions of operating systems with a delay. However, it is not so essential: it is better to fulfill all the specified prescriptions and correctly complete the work than to eliminate the unpleasant consequences with the printer.
