Q: How to cancel
printing or to delete a print job that is stuck in the print queue in
Windows XP
A: Method A: Press the cancel button or use the cancel menu
command on the printer
The most obvious way to cancel a print job is to find a cancel button or
a cancel menu command on the printer and to press it. So, if you have
not already done this, try this method first.
Method B: Turn the printer off and on.
Next, try turning the printer off and then on. With certain printer
models, this cancels the print job.
Method C: Use Control Panel to cancel printing.
This method is a bit fancier. We will use Control Panel to try to cancel
printing.
To cancel one or more print jobs, follow these steps.
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type control printers, and then click OK.
3.Right-click the icon for your printer, and then click Open.
To cancel individual print jobs, right-click the print job that you want
to cancel, and then click Cancel.
To cancel all print jobs, click Cancel All Documents on the Printer menu
Q: Is it OK to run more then one type of program that monitors
your computer? (i.e. Spyware, anti-virus, security software).
A: I wish more often people would ask this question instead of
seeing something for free, or some free trial and just download it. More
often then not, most are already running some type of software that is
working in the background. (i.e. Spyware, Anti-virus, etc.) Then they
download a free trial or pay for the same type of software and run it at
the same time. THIS IS BAD... Yes, most of the time the computer will
run both versions of the same software (i.e. 2 spywares or 2
anti-viruses), but the computer will slow down, some times to a crawl.
You may also experience difficulty with surfing the internet or
downloading. If you know you already are running one of the same type of
software, turn the old one off or deactivate it, or just plain remove it
if you are never going to use it.
