To cancel a print request,
select it by clicking its title or icon and click the
Remove button. You can only select the currently printing document by
clicking its title. (You can select more than one item at a time by holding
down the Shift key while clicking.) You can also drag the icon for the print
request to the Trash. Note that these methods delete only the print request
(also referred to as a spool file), not the document itself.
