Hello, thank you for using Howly.
To cancel the printing please follow this:
Is there a way to cancel on the printer itself?
You can turn the printer off and remove its power cable from an outlet for 1 minute
The print job should be erased from printer memory after that
But if you will still have a printing job ended to printer in Windows it can send it to the printer once more
So I would suggest checking the Printers & Scanners in Windows first
I am doing that now
I just plugged the printer back in. I will see itf it still tries to print the long job
Yes, please check
It is printing the log job . I am wasting ink and paper
Let's cancel it from the Printers & Scanners in Windows
Do you see a search field in the bottom-left corner of Windows?
Yes. I typed in printers and scanners
Good, please open the Printers & Scanners app, do you see your printer I the list?
I see HP Envy 7640 and I see HP037855 (HP Envy 7640 series). whiche one should I connect to?
Check both by clicking on its name and selecting 'Open queue'
I ahve to do them one at a time
Yes, please
Check if you see a print job in the list that opens after you select 'Open queue'
I did HP Envy 7640 and there is nothng in the Queue
Right click on it and select 'Delete'
Please check the second one
I see three jobs including the long job in the queue for HP037855
Good, right click on it and select Delete
Delete is not an option when I right click. Cancel is an option
Sometimes delete is now available, select Cancel and check if the job disappear from the list
It is Deleting
Good, try powering off the printer to make sure
And then turn it back on
Power off now or wait until it says that it has delete the print job. Unplug the maching and wait a nimute before plugging it back in?
Yes, please
Tehbig print job has been deleted and the printer has been plugged in for about a minute
Good, the job is canceled successfully then!
Thanks for your help!
You're welcome!
