Stop Printing that Document Sometimes you begin to print a
document and then change your mind. How do you stop a print job?
Because your program simply passes off its printing jobs to Windows,
there is no obvious way to cancel printing. It can be done if you're
crafty, however. Follow these steps:
Locate the printer icon located on the taskbar at the bottom-right
of your screen. (Look near the current-time display.) This printer
icon appears only when Windows is sending something to the printer.
Depending on how much you're printing and how fast your printer is,
you may not even see it at all. If you don't, you're out of luck and
you may as well quit right now and eat some ice cream.
Double-click the little printer icon.
Click the name of your document "job" in the Print Manager's list.
Choose Document-->Cancel Printing.
You may be asked whether you really want to terminate the employee,
er, print job. Click OK. If you're using a network printer, you may
not be able to cancel the document. Oh well.
Choose Printer-->Close. You are zapped back to your program, ready
for more editing action.
Editor's Note: If you have a fast printer - first remove the
paper in the feeder (Do not pull on the sheet currently printing). No
paper - No print next page. Now go through the above steps to cancel.
