Anyone know a method to truly cancel a printing job on one of these laser printers? You can stop the print queue, you can turn off the printer, you can trash any "visible job" in the desktop printer window by selecting it and trashing. But what gives when it goes to the printer, spools off, disappears from the list and the printer is doing its thing (like printing 50 pages you do not want and only accidentally asked it to do ... I have a key macro that goes control + p to do the para html mark up tag and I must have accidentally pressed command + p). Mind of its own - of course, literally, it has its own memory and chip.
Turning it off is no good because it remembers where it was and goes on, it even sometimes thinks to begin the job again (as often it does if it prints a page or two and then gets stuck on a second page or says it wants more paper and when you attend to its hysterical claims, it seems happy and prints from page one again!). Need to get at it inside. Hoy! Stop! Into its own ear. The 7600 hears everything, it is one smart cookie. But the printer seems a truly robotic robot. I tried stopping print queue and opening Printer utility but see nothing that seems relevant at all. There is under Job handling Config, the option to "Wait for all pages to be printed before closing connection" tick or not, not being the default... This something? I had it ticked. Maybe, but what does this really mean? Anyone kindly know anything about this little infuriation? I mean, this business of smart machines with minds of their own is all very well, but there should be a method of telling them things, interrupting them to do this and that - and they taking on board your SUGGESTIONS ... DEMANDS... Excuse me. I feel better at having told you all now... David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
