How do I cancel self-repeating print orders?

I accidentally printed “print” and my printer is now printing the selection over and over again and I can’t get it to stop.

Without any mention of OS name, nor LO version, advice may only be generic.

  1. Stop the printer (it won’t print pages after that)
  2. Reboot your computer (this will terminate the print spooler)
  3. After reboot, use your OS print manager to clear the printer queue.
  4. Now the queue is empty, you can switch your printer back on.
