You double click on the printer icon in the tray and then high light the print job, click documents and then cancel. It still takes a minute or so, but if you are printing a large document, it will stop it. Hope this helps Jack Brooks I am asking you the same question that I sent to the computer lady. I don't seem to be able to get an answer from anybody else. Simply, how do you stop a printer from printing in the middle of the process without waiting until the full message gets done printing?
