I tried to print out a document from a web site yesterday but instead of printing only one page from it I accidentally pressed on the 'all' space and my printer kept on printing out the whole site which was about of 32 pages. I didn't know how to stop or cancel the program so that my printer could stop from printing.In the middle of this process I had to withdraw all my papers from my printer to stop from printing.

When you are printing something a little printer icon appears on the bottom right hand corner of your screen, if you double click this a window will pop up and in here you can cancel the current print job, also there is a cancel button on every printer which you should press also to be on the safe side especially if its a big job.

Hi,
This is a simple but Quickly It will not stop printing. So To stop printing on Status Bar Click on the Printer Icon or Goto Control Panel > Printers and Faxes On that Dialog Box the Current print Job will be displayed Right Click on that and Delete the Job.
The another quick think is to do if this process will not stop the printing ASAP.
1.Switch off the printer and delete the print job from printer faxes.
2.If its a network printer unplugged your network cable
Like this only we can stop this printing job immidiately.

If it has started printing you can cancel the job from the print queue on your PC (via Start => Printers => {double-click printer} => righ-click Cancel)
BUT if the printer keeps printing the pages that have arrived there then you can switch the printer off by holding the power button for a few seconds (assuming it is an inkjet). Then double check your print queue.

Click 'START', then 'PRINTER & FAXES', click on the printer icon for the appropriate printer, in the printer window, right click on the document you want to stop and click 'CANCEL'.
The printer will continue printing until the buffer is empty so a short document might print to the end anyway.

if the printer icon is in your icon tray when it is printing, hold the mouse over it and right click....there should be a "purge printing" button somewhere on there...it will probably take a few seconds to work, so might wait until the end of the current page is printed..
hope that helps

Turn the printer off then cancel the process once the message to say that a fault has occurred comes up. A bit crude but that is what I do.
