Clicking noise when print job is sent from PC

I'm glad to provide the instructions to cancel the print.
Double click the printer icon in the system tray (by the clock). That should open a printing status window. Highlight the job you want to cancel and click on cancel. it will show "deleting". Once the job is deleted, the printer may continue to print what is in its internal memory, but once that is gone, the printer will stop and eject the page.

If your computer has sent the file to the printer memory already you have to turn off the printer.
Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any clarifications.

The printer should have a stop/cancel buttom on the panel, just press that and it sould cancel the print job.

Also, you can delete the job queue from the computer. You should have a printer in the Dock, click on that and select jobs and click on the delete button. If you don't have the printer on the Dock, click on Apple, System Preferences and select Printers. Select your printer and click on Open Queue and delete the jobs from there.

To clear all pending job
In run window type services.msc and the go to print spooler option just stop and restart the service. And switch off and switch on the printer.
Have a nice day and do not forget to rate please...!

Click on the printer icon in your tray and see if the job was sent several times. A window will open with the list of jobs sent to printer. Highlight all jobs and clear the printer or delete all jobs; the window will be cleared of all jobs and the printer should stop printing.

First off all switch off the printer then click start button on pc go to settings and then printers and faxes. Select your officejet over there and open it. inside if you see any list of pending jobs or even a single job then right click on it and select delete. It will start the process of deleting just wait for few seconds switch on the printer and once more select delete by right clicking. once more switch off the printer and now it will be ready for use.

You may have to go to the printer and click on Status or printer jobs and cancel the job from the printer. It appears the printer has the whole job already spooled in memory

First, I would try canceling the document either at the printer (hit cancel if it has already been sent) or at the computer.

You can do this by going to start -> settings -> printers and faxes
double click on the printer to open it
right click on the offending file and hit delete

It sounds like both of these have been done already. So...next option.

Second option - Restart the print spooler
Go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
Click on the "Print Spooler"
Select Restart

Third option - delete the document from the spooler
Stop the Print Spooler by following the instructions above and clicking "stop"
Delete all files in the c:\windows\system32\spool\printers directory
Restart the print spooler.

CAUTION!!! - This will clear out both the offending job and any other jobs that have been sent to the printer after the offending job. If you have a number of other jobs, you may wish to clear out only the offending job from the printers directory.

Hope this helps - flub

As the previous expert has stated, with the printer paused, press the cancel key to cancel the job. One thing to note, is depending on how your software sends the print jobs, you may say print 1000 labels, but the software sends it one at a time, so basically you have 1000 print jobs in the printer. If you pause the printer, press and hold the cancel key. Hold it for about 2 mins. This should clear the buffer.

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.

If this is for Microsoft XP, click start button (bottom left corner of screen) select printers & faxes, you should see a printer there that has a black (not grey) tick next to it, which means it's your default printer.. (& probably the one you are interested in) Double click it, the pending print jobs shud be in there. You can hold them or cancel them or prompt them to print if needed..
