Question: Is there a "correct" way to stop a long print run once it has started? Please let me know so I don't mess up again.
Andy, I have that same printer and haven't run into this before. I don't know if it makes a difference though, but many times I'll pull up the print manager to remove the queued job, then either let the printer flush out it's buffer or turn it off after. I don't think you really did anything wrong, I just think you caught things at a bad time during the printing.

Lee, Have you ever stopped a printer while it was printing? How? Andy
Turn it off, pull the power plug, etc. IF the job is still in the print queue on the computer/print server, then you can pause it or delete it there. Whatever made it over to the printer will still print. Once the print job is in the printer's cache then you need to know the magic button sequence of the printer to delete the currently printing job. I know the power button will clear the cache quite nicely. Sometimes the power switch is the only way to stop an out of control printer/print job. Most printers do have a key sequence to halt and/or delete the current print job. Stan
