<title>Cancel, pause or release a print job</title>

<p>You can cancel a pending print job and remove it from the queue in the
 printer settings.</p>

<title>Cancel a print job</title>

  <p>If you accidentally started printing a document, you can cancel the
 print so that you do not need to waste any ink or paper.</p>

<steps>
  <title>How to cancel a print job:</title>
  <item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select
  <gui>Settings</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Click <gui>Printers</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Click the <gui>Show Jobs</gui> button on the right-hand side of the
  <gui>Printers</gui> dialog.</p></item>
  <item><p>Cancel the print job by clicking the stop button on the
  pay-pause-stop symbols.</p></item>
 </steps>

  <p>If this does not cancel the print job like you expected, try holding down
 the <gui>Cancel</gui> button on your printer.</p>

  <p>As a last resort, especially if you have a big print job with a lot of
 pages that won't cancel, remove the paper from the printer's paper input tray.
 The printer should realize that there is no paper and will stop printing. You
 can then try canceling the print job again, or try turning the printer off and
 then on again.</p>

 <note style="warning">
  <p>Be careful that you don't damage the printer when removing the paper,
 though - if you would have to pull hard on the paper to remove it, you should
 probably just leave it where it is.</p>
