I turn it off.


To stop it quickly as I hear it ready to print a new page, I open the front panel where I'd insert a specialty paper or label to print.

There has got to be some sort of comedy skit on this, no?

Unplug or turn off the printer

Not always will it work that way. When you turn it on, it will resume printing. You'll need to clear queue like etech0 has mentioned.

Sometimes by me the queue says canceling and just stays that way without actually clearing.

There pretty much is one on DDF, much to my chagrin...

That's when you need to restart your computer. I used to have a printer like that.

Schools that give out pushkas and encourage little kids to bang down my door all day soliciting.

I don’t allow my children to engage in this as I find it extremely distasteful. They are extremely upset about it because they want the prizes the school gives out. The prizes are for collecting hundreds of dollars. Seriously, why are 6y/o being encouraged to collect that kind of money?!

I don't need my kids getting fair value for the job, as they are helping their school. I do mind having kids banging on my door and ringing the bell after my kids are sleeping.

Agreed.

I know of parents who just buy their children a prize.

Heavy negotiations are underway. Told them I’ll speak to their Rebbeim and find out what prizes are being given out and I’ll buy it for them. They feel left out of the door to door knocking though, it’s like a sport of sorts to the kids.
