My hp photo mart will not cancel printing keeps printing the same thing over and over it said it was canceling when I click on cancel but it still keeps printing the same thing

Make sure the paper try is properly attached. Try to unplug the power of your pinter and the USB cable for about 2-3 minutes. Restart your computer. Plug the USB and power to the printer then turn it back on.

It's because the print queue is saved on the printer's flash memory. This happens when you don't cancel the queues properly or terminated improperly. To get rid of the issue, always try to give the command slowly and don't over load. If you are printing photos, try to make the file size small so that it'll not take long to spool and prepare for printing.

When the problem occurs, so as follows:

Cancel the queues from the print status box ("Cancel all documents"), if they are not cancelled, then turn off the printer (directly unplug the power cord from the printer), it you still see the printing status, keep on cancelling until everything's gone.

If the problem persists, restart your computer. Definitely the problem will be fixed.

It's also important to press the cancel button while the printer powers On.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

cancel the printing... on control panel double click the printer.... double click the model of your printer to display pending printing process.. then cancel print.

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

the Printer menu.

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.


Hope this helps.

just turn the printer off...and delete the commands from the error and job folder...you have to insist ...and try to open it from control panel or Hp in all programs .if it doesn't work from tray system ...this is the way to annul the commands...if it does not want to ..restart and try it again until it get rid of it ...restarting will make it not see that is used by another device ..

go into control panel nprinters, click on the printer you are using, select properties, it will list the print queue. Pull down menu allows cancellation.

Try doing this
disconnect printer from computer
cancel documents in queue
if using a straight USB connection, delete all instances of printer. else remove duplicate printer icons.
reboot & reconnect printer (swap cables if not detected)

on the bottom right side of your computer screen you will find a icon of a printer.click on it .a screen with the printer driver will apper and the job you printed will be listed on that screen.right click on it and then click "cancel"you can leave the printer turned of as it will take a few minutes to do this.during this time the printer will keep pushing out paper if it is not turned off.

I have the same problem. In the error message box is a Cancel button.
If I don't click the Cancel then the print goes through just fine and I click Cancel when the print is finished.
