In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to find printers in homes around the world. A few years ago, we could find printers for 20 or 30 euros, which lasted as long as they lasted, depending on the use we made, it could last a replacement or some more, as long as the ink did not dry (by not using it regularly) and we would be forced to dump the printer directly.
If you regularly print documents, either at work or at home, it is likely that you have chosen a quality printer, a printer that does not leave you lying down at the first change as it used to be. If so, it is also likely that on more than one occasion, you have been forced to wait for a document to print because you cannot cancel printing.
Although it may seem strange, unplugging the printer while you are working does not mean canceling the printing in most cases, since once we reconnect it, it continues to print the document, although most likely, it is that do not pick up where you left off.
Canceling the printing of a document is not done from the printer, but from the computer that sent the document to print, the computer that manages your printing until it is finished. If we cancel the printing from the equipment, it automatically cancels the printing.
Cancel printing a document in Windows
When we send a document to the printer, the toolbar located in the lower right corner (where the time is displayed) shows a printer icon. To cancel the printing of a document, we must press with the right click and select properties.
Next, a window will appear with the document we are printing. To cancel printing, we go to the document in question, press the right mouse button and select Cancel all documents.
