Monitoring and controlling background printing
If you are using background printing, you can use the desktop printer features
to monitor and control your print requests. To learn how to turn background
printing on and off, see “Printing While You Use Your Computer,” earlier in
this chapter.
To monitor or control a print request, follow these steps:
1Double-click the desktop printer icon you’re interested in.
A window opens listing the documents that are printing or waiting to print:
About print requests to shared printers: If you use ColorShare to print a
document on a printer that is not directly connected to your computer, your
print request will be visible in this window for only a few moments. Then the
print request moves to the desktop printer on the computer that is directly
connected to the printer.
2 Decide what you’d like to do.

To delete a print request,
select its title or icon (by clicking it), then click the
Remove button. (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,
not the document itself.
