You can cancel a pending print job and remove it from the queue in the
printer settings.
Cancel a print job
If you accidentally started printing a document, you can cancel the print
so that you do not need to waste any ink or paper.
How to cancel a print job:
-
Open the Activities overview and
start typing Printers.
-
Click Printers to open the panel.
-
Click the Show Jobs button on the right-hand side of the
Printers dialog.
-
Cancel the print job by clicking the stop button.
If this does not cancel the print job like you expected, try holding down
the cancel button on your printer.
As a last resort, especially if you have a big print job with a lot of
pages that will not 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.
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.
