While your question is not quite clear, I will provide a couple of suggestions. Usually when you press the cancel button, it pauses the printer and then you must use the arrow keys to select cancel job and then press the checkmark. Also check any computers to make sure that they do not have a job in their print queue. If the printer does not send back a job complete command, sometimes the computer will keep resending the job. Failing all else, restart your computer and your printer. Are the pages that are printing gibberish or is it the correct print job? If gibberish, you might have a corrupted print driver or the file you are printing might be corrupted.

Most printers can be stopped by going to your control panel and selecting printer and then find the command that cancels the printing job. Try this teaching video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXIM_17IIl0
If you tried to print something that is still pending and you need to get it out of the print queue follow these instructions:
On the lower right side of your computer screen near the clock area - look for the printer icon (picture of your printer) Right click with your mouse on top of the picture of the printer and choose "properties" from the drop down list. Click on the name of the document that you wish to cancel and click file and click on cancel document. You can also click on the name of the document you want to cancel and then right click on it again and choose cancel from the drop down list.
You may need to choose cancel all documents to get rid of any which are pending.
To cancel one or more print jobs, follow these steps.
1. Go to Control panel - Printers . 2. Right-click the icon for your printer, and then click
Open. 3. To cancel individual print jobs, right-click the print job
that you want to cancel, and then click Cancel. 4. To cancel all print jobs, click Cancel All Documents on

Alternatively if this doesnt work you have to restart the spooler service
1.Go to Control Panel - Click Administrative Tools. 2.Double-click Services. 3. Stop the service called Print Spooler. 4. Click Start to restart the Print Spooler. Then click OK.
Hi,
Right click on MyComputer and click Manage. Then go to Services and Applications and then Services. Find the Print Spooler services in the list and right click to stop it. When it is stopped try to cancel the document again. Then start the print spooler service again.

Note:you can always do a print preview by clicking the little arrow(in explorer)next to the printer Icon.Then pick what pages you want to print,click apply,then print.Hope this helps?
You can cancel a print job from within Windows by going to Control Panel -> Printers and double-clicking on the appropriate printer. Right-click the print job you want to cancel and select Cancel from the context menu. Anything already sent to the printer will continue to print.
You can also cancel a print job from the printer by pressing Cancel on the control panel. This applies to whatever is currently printing.
(You may want to remove any paper from the paper tray first.)
Clicking the cancel print icon stops the job from continuing to spool, but whatever is still in the printer's memory will continue to print until exhaused or the job is cancelled from the printer's control panel.
Clear the print queue by double clicking the printer icon in the Printers and Faxes folder and power off and unplug the printer power cord. Remove the paper from the tray and power the printer back on if it attempt to print again repeat the process until the memory is cleared.
