How do I make my printer stop printing crooked?

My printer is printing a bunch of documents! I had to take out all the paper, how do I make it stop? Help!?

  • I guess I pressed print too many times yesterday when trying to fix it, and now it's printing out of control, so I was forced to take all the paper away. Is there away to check what still needs to be printed and stop it? Thanks!! I still need to print a lot of things...

  • Answer:

    can you unplug it?

First I assume that you are running windows xp, since that is the system that I am most familiar with. Go to the task bar on the bottom of your desktop screen, that is where the start button is located. On the right hand side, opposite the start button, are a bunch of little icons that show some of the programs you are running. If you see a small printer just double click on the icon. If not sometimes the taskbar hides some of the icons. There is an arrow button pointing to the left, right next to the icons. Just click that and you should see it. once the printer window is open just click on the print jobs in the queue and hit delete and it should cancel them. Hope this helps.

First of all, i can only help you if you are running windows..... Hit start, go into the control panel, and then click printers. then go into printers and faxes, and then right click on the offending printer and select open. After doing so, you should see what jobs are in the printer's queue. select all of them, and press the delete key on your keyboard. hope this helps!

Go to view printers in control panel. Double click on your printer this will open the printer queue. Right click on the document thats making it print a click cancel. Or you can cancel all pending documents. Thats it.

T-MAC

Start > Control Panel > Printers >Printer (first top tab) > Cancel all Documents. if your still having a problem highlight a printing job and go to > documents > cancel job. but i dont think you will have a problem with the 1st step.

Check the printing queue if your printer shows one and delete all the documents in there otherwise just put one sheet in there, wait for it to come out, put it back in(wastes ink :( )

pressed stop on the printer; or start printers and faxes double click on the printer you use highlight the documents then right click cancel all the documents when it can not be cancelled :restart; or unplugged it

you could go here: start>control panel>printer and faxes. look for your printer icon there. open it to see if you still have documents pending for print. then just choose "cancel all documents" from the printer menu.
