K-J: I have the same problem frequently when connecting to my laser on the network... for me the best answer is to make sure both the printer and peecee it's connected to are both up and running on the network before hitting the "print" stroke... if I forget, I gotta go bouncing around the house and reboot everything and that sucks! No amount of "cancel print job" entries cancel the job once it's in the spool to an unconnected printer. Garth.

With my old Mac Performa, you just hit option and period, and that did it. I have a Brother HL-1435 laser printer, and a Mac G4 Powerbook with OS 10.3.5. So far the only way I've found is to turn it off, then start it up again. However, today, it wouldn't do that, but kept asking me if I wanted to queue the job for later, so I clicked on that, but then when I went to do another print job, it started printing the first one out. Since that was a 60-page chapter in my book manuscript, I was not too happy. I turned it off to stop it. When I went to the printer dialogue box, the section for delete job was greyed out. Help! Because I kept trying to cancel and then queue for later, I have five print job listings for that particular chapter. Am I doomed to endlessly run off copies of my book chapter? I looked at the Brother website and there was nothing about this problem. I'm going to call them tomorrow, but in the meantime, if you can offer any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
