Controlling a print job

Once you have created a print history and submitted a print job, you can control the print job.

You can view the status of print jobs, so that you know where they are in the print queue and whether they are progressing normally.

In addition, you can view the history of print jobs sent to the printer during your current session. Print jobs display in the history list in the order they were sent to the printer, with the most recent job at the top.

You can also pause print jobs, although on network printers you can only pause your own print jobs. You can resume printing a paused print job.

You can cancel a print job.

WordPerfect Office note Controlling a print job

•
 
On a network printer, you can cancel only your own print jobs.
•
 
You can cancel the job in the Windows print queue, in your network print queue, or at your printer. But if your printer has a large memory buffer, printing may continue for a few moments after you cancel the print job. For more information about each of these options, see the respective product documentation.
