Hi, I am as newbie as can be.

I set up a sizeable spreadsheet with Open Office and neglected to toggle
"print selected sheet only" option.

Ended up printing 8 copies of the whole spreadsheet (11 sheets) =
approximately 90 pages.

I tried everything to try to stop the printjob.
But it was not registered in the Print Manager.
Swithched the computer off. Swithced the printer off. Rebooted into Win XP.
The moment I returned to Linux the printer started printing.

Questions:
1. How do I stop a printjob if I am not happy with it.
2. How do I set OpenOffice to only print the selected sheet by default, in
stead of the whole document?

Thanks.
(I hope I did not hi-jack any threads. I did do a search of the archives,
but did not find something that seems to answer this particular questions)


There are lots of ways to manage print jobs.
Assuming you are using KDE and CUPS :-

In konqueror press the 'services' button in the tool bar dividing the pane.
The left pane will then show 'Print System Browser' You can stop jobs in there.
Derek,
I don't understand this at all. I don't see a button dividing any pane. Help




Or Right click on your 'Quick start' bar select Panel Menu>Add>Special Button>Print System

Got this...



Or in any browser http://localhost:631

This works too

if you go to start applications/configuration/printing/CUPS www admin then you can 'Manage Jobs' or 'Manage Printers' from there.

Dereks ways are quicker but I had a similiar problem yesterday and found this other way.
