If its a long document, you can click on the printer's icon, select the
document in the window, and choose cancel. This is the only effective way to
stop a long document and it should reset the printer and eject the half
printed page. If it's a short document it probably was entirely downloaded
to the printer before the printer started, so you can only cancel it at the
printer by using the reset button, or powering off the printer. If your
printer is USB, I suggest you stick to using the reset.  Powering down has
the effect of disconnecting from the USB. Either way, this will flush the
printer's cache memory, which effectively stops short jobs. If it is a web
document, your printer should wait until it is completely 'spooled' before
it prints if you want to be able to cancel it with the least aggravation.
You make that change under your printer icon, properties, details, spooler
settings. Clear the checkbox, 'start printing after first page is spooled'.
If you want to stop the download, click your browser's stop button.

While printing a document, how do you stop the printer if you decide you
don't actually want to print anymore in the middle of the document? I have
windows xp and fuse dial up. Thank you, Denis Snider
