Any help is truly and greatly appreciated.

Okay, I started printing a document but then cancelled it. It's been in the process of cancelling for three hours. If I start a new print, I can cancel it in a blink of an eye but the first one refuses to go away and so I can't print anything. It's not my printer, because this has happened with two different printers.

I would REALLY like to get my homework printed out, by the way :)

1) Shut off and turn back on the printer.
2) If this does not clear it -- shut down computer, and restart. When it asks if you want to continue or cancel the print jobs in the spool, cancel. Then start fresh.

It is angry because it is thirsty.

You need to feed it a couple glasses of water.

Ctrl+Alt+Del. Or go into Task Manager. Then go to processes. Now Google all the processes on your computer, it is a great way of removing things that slip past your Virus-Scanner.

This always happens to me,
modern technology sucks (or maybe its just the people who use it).
Anyway, i always threaten the printer and say that i'll buy another one, so then it gets jealous and starts working again, try it, it never fails.

Any particular reason or did it just look thirsty?

I have to agree with that one. It WAS stupid.
Ok, in lack of a good way to say it, I will just say it.
There is this story here in Brasil of a boy who ejaculated on his DreamCast (that videogame by Sega). At the time, it was an expensive videogame, I think it was about three months after it was released (so the boy spent a lot of money on it), he was in the internet watching some porn and "having fun", and the sperm flew all the way to the open videogame, landed right on top of the lens.
Man, it was funny, he telling how he tried to explain to his mother how he dropped glue on the Dreamcast. :p

(1) Clear the print jobs on the printer queue on your computer (or reboot it if does not work)
(2) Reboot printer to clear internal memory of old print job (applies especially to laser printers)

1) Shut off and turn back on the printer.
2) If this does not clear it -- shut down computer, and restart. When it asks if you want to continue or cancel the print jobs in the spool, cancel. Then start fresh.
I agree it is probably caught somewhere between the spooler and on printer memory

I would try both at the same time … if not restart the original print and hopefully it goes through (may print gibberish) it sucks but some printers don’t have a way to clear mem and it wont always let you clear spooler
I would do both at the same time … power down the printer and shut down the computer … hopefully the spooler doesn’t recognize that there is something in the print mem

I've blown up a toaster before. I put my mum's car keys in it then asked her to make me toast. :p

Anyway I think my computer hates me to. Just before I have to hand an essay it decides that the screen should not work.

Well, the entire story is here http://www.182motivos.hpg.ig.com.br/conto1.htm
But, in portuguese (you can do like me and learn another language to better enjoy the internet. You can also reply that my english sucks, but hey, I learned it all on the forums, it´s your fault)

Why must my computer hate me so?

Because you keep touching it in in it's special place. It doesn't like that, you sicko.

ahem.

When my printer wouldn't cancel a print I discovered that the USB cable had come unplugged, so the computer couldn't send it the signal.

1. Go to your local sporting goods store.

2. Purchase an aluminum baseball bat.

3. Return to your computer.

4. Before beginning, to avoid electrocution, make sure to unplug all components of your computer.

5. With baseball bat securely held in both hands, raise it above your head.

6. Swing baseball bat down onto computer.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until computer resembles applesauce.

8. Purchase new computer.

9. Thank me for this wonderful advice to the tune of $100.
