To stop the current print job using the software application

A dialog box will appear briefly on the screen, giving you the option to cancel the print job.

If several requests have been sent to the printer through your software, they might be waiting in a print queue (for example, in Windows Print Manager). See the software documentation for specific instructions on canceling a print request from the computer.

If a print job is waiting in a print queue (computer memory) or print spooler (Windows 98, 2000, XP, or Me), delete the print job there.

For Windows 98, 2000, XP, or Me, go to Start, Settings, and then Printers. Double-click the HP Color LaserJet 3550 or 3700 printer icon to open the print spooler. Select the print job you want to cancel, and then press Delete. If the print job is not cancelled, you might need to shut down and restart the computer.
