  <title>Cancel, pause or release a print job</title>

  <p>You can cancel a pending print job and remove it from the queue in the
  printer settings.</p>

    <title>Cancel a print job</title>

  <p>If you accidentally started printing a document, you can cancel the print
  so that you do not need to waste any ink or paper.</p>

  <steps>
    <title>How to cancel a print job:</title>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Printers</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click <gui>Printers</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click the button next to the printer which shows the number of jobs.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Cancel the print job by clicking the stop button.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>If this does not cancel the print job like you expected, try holding down
  the <em>cancel</em> button on your printer.</p>

  <p>As a last resort, especially if you have a big print job with a lot of
  pages that will not cancel, remove the paper from the printer’s paper input
  tray. The printer should realize that there is no paper and will stop
  printing. You can then try canceling the print job again, or try turning the
  printer off and then on again.</p>

  <note style="warning">
    <p>Be careful that you don’t damage the printer when removing the paper,
    though. If you would have to pull hard on the paper to remove it, you
    should probably just leave it where it is.</p>
