How do I cancel printing? Opening the checked printer in "Printers and Faxes" doesn't show a thing. Clicking "Printers>Cancel all documents" from there, doesn't do it. Please help.

If there is nothing showing when you open the print queue, the print job has already left the computer and is stored in the printer's memory (generally, laser printers only). In this case, the only way you can cancel the printing is from the printer itself, either by pressing a "print cancel" button or turning off the printer power.

Inkjet printers generally don't have enough memory to store a large print job, so you get an opportunity to cancel from the print queue.
