printer que won't clear
Hello,
Is there a way to manually force the printer que to clear? I tried clicking on the printer icon in the system tray and selecting the job, then clicking cancel. After doing this 4 times in 10 minutes I finally rebooted the PC. This worked, but I would rather not have to do that again. It is a brand new cannon pixma printer. Thanks. |
