How do I stop printer from printing all 200 pages

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hi Peter,

Try clicking into Control Panel > Printers and other Hardware > Printers and
Faxes > double click your printer(same thing as the printer icon in task bar)
> Click printer > click pause printing > go back into printers > Click cancel
all documents. That will take care of stopping the print jobs. As far as
how you got 200 pages to print at once is beyond me but you may try looking
at your printer manufacturers website for new drivers for your printer.
Thats all I can help you with hope everything works out

Unplug the power from the printer, for a few minutes... open
the printer properties and purge the document from the list.

When you print to an HP printer, the default is to print
all, but you can select to print just the current page or to
print a select page(s).

I'm guessing that the LaserJet 4v has built-in RAM and the
entire 200 pages was sent to the printer already.

Yes and in order to clear the memory you should unplug the printer as
stated. If you have already canceled the documents then the above should be
enough to stop the printing.
