It's sounds like your copier came alive and now you have to protect yourself from the monster. LOL LOL

All I could picture was all the paper going all over and the copy machine just doing it faster and faster. ... I'm sorry but you made me laugh today..... I had a very upsetting night last night and I was worried today but I always come to this site and when I read your post you made me cheer up and laugh. But I sure do hope you get it stopped as ink is expensive........

How does anybody get a copier to STOP printing even if I hit cancel (& every other button on it)? Very frustrating.
(Now it's printing off numerous baked stuffed mushrooms recipes I tried to get last night. Anybody need a recipe)? LOL

I love stuffed mushrooms :mrgreen: I'm in for the recipe :lol:

all i have to do is right click on the printer icon on tool bar..then click on the printing item line and right click and cancel..that is on my hp.

Some printers delete all printing jobs when turned off, others do not so you'll need to figure out how your printer operates. You can also first quickly PULL out the paper also, then do all the other steps as necessary for your printer.

Completely off subject---Can I get a bigger copy of your ap? It is exactly what I want for my bedroom.

Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't work with mine. Somebody hit it right by reminding me to go to Start, Computer, Printer & cancelling everything stored there. I still feel dumb for not remembering that.
I sure appreciate everybody's help with my problem. Hopefully it will help others fix their prob. too.

I hope whatever you worried about last night is better now.

Turn it off and unplug it for ten seconds. That'll fix it's little red wagon. Sometimes you have to remind them who's boss!

You will need to click on the cancel there or delete job. Sometimes you have to highlight it there.Different printers show different things. Or you can find the printer on your computer under computers section and click on the printer and go to elp to see how your particular printer works. Canceling at the printer usually doesn't work, especially if you have sever pages pending when you tried to print and it failed. The memory is still in the printer, that's why it is continuing to print. You said it printed about 14 copies, then that's how many times you clicked on it to print for you and failed to do so. Hope this helps you out.
