Don't worry printers have what is called a queue. This is a holding area for print jobs waiting to be printed. You can see what is in your printers queue by follow the steps below:

1. Double-clicking the printer shortcut on the Windows desktop. If you haven’t made such a shortcut, right-click the printer icon in the System Tray. This is found on the far-right side of the Windows taskbar. select Open All Active Printers and Faxes on the pop-up menu that appears.

2. The window with the print jobs queued up for your printer opens, you can do any of the following things to the contents:

    • Pause the printing of the documents in the print queue,
    • Choose Printer
    • Cancel one or all Printing
    • Remove a particular file from the print queue
    • Change the position of a document in the print queue, drag the print queue description to a new position in the list
Note: You can not move a print job to a new position in the queue if the document status shows that the job is currently being printe
