How Print Jobs are Processed
- The job is spooled within your computer
- The job is spooled to the print server on the network
- The job is spooled to the actual printer and held it its memory
- Your job is printed as a hard copy
How to cancel a print job when it is in each of its different steps:
-
Click cancel on your screen when the option appears shortly after you have clicked okay to print.
-
Go under the start menu on a PC computer to the settings menu and choose the printers folder. Find the printer you have printer to and select it. Find your job in the queue and delete it.
- If your job is the one being printed, press the cancel button. If you are printing on the plotters there is an option in the menu screen on the actual plotter that allows you to check the print queue in the plotters memory and then you may select and delete your job.
If you turn of a printer to cancel a job, you also delete all the jobs that are in its memory. Please don't do this unless you know that your job is the only one in the memory.
