•In Windows, delete all print jobs from the Windows Spooler:

•Windows 8.x: Navigate to the Apps screen and select Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers. Right-click your product name, select See what's printing, and select your product name again, if necessary. Right-click the stalled print job, click Cancel, and click Yes.

•Windows 7: Click and select Devices and Printers. Right-click your product name, select See what's printing, and select your product name again, if necessary. Right-click the stalled print job, click Cancel, and click Yes.

•Windows Vista: Click and select Control Panel. Click Printer under Hardware and Sound, right-click your product name, and select Open. Right click the stalled print job, click Cancel, and click Yes.

•Windows XP: Click Start and select Printers and Faxes. (Or open the Control Panel, select Printers and Other Hardware if necessary, and select Printers and Faxes.) Right-click your product name, select Open, right-click the stalled print job, click Cancel, and click Yes.

•If your product is connected to a USB hub, connect it directly to your computer instead.

Incorrect Image Size or Position

If your printed image is the wrong size or in the wrong position, try these solutions:

•Make sure you selected the correct paper size and layout settings in your printing program and printer software.

•Make sure your paper is positioned correctly for feeding into the printer.

You can use the preview option in your printer software to check your margins before you print.
