I have an hp deskjet 932c. Most of the time it works fine. but in a
random fashion it sometimes starts chewing up the paper. When I open
the print to fix this it then prints 46 pages of gobbly gook and I
can't seem to cancel the print job. How can I waste less paper
without
buying a new printer. I don't expect to fix the paper feed issue
(it's
old, it's made of plastic, it screws up) but I would like to be able
to
cancel a print job with out wasting 5 minutes a 20 sheets of paper.

The "X" button on the printer will cancel the current print job. If you
are running XP you can also pause the print job and then cancel it from
start, printers and faxes, select the printer, then printer, pause,
cancel all documents.

I 've been trying to cancel from the printer menu but I forgot about
the X button THANKs!!
