    Canceling a Print Job
    A print job can be stopped from a program or from a print 
    queue, by pressing the Cancel button ( ) on the printer.
    To stop a print job from the control panel:
    • If the print job is already printing, press the Cancel button 
    ( ). The printer finishes printing the pages that are already 
    moving through the printer and deletes the remainder of the 
    print job. 
    • Pressing the Cancel button ( ) cancels only the current job 
    in the printer. If more than one print job is in the printer’s 
    memory, you must press the Cancel button once for each job 
    after the job starts printing.
    To stop a print job from the Printers folder:
    If the print job is waiting in a print queue or print spooler, such 
    as the Printer group in Windows, delete the job as follows:
    1From the Windows Start menu, select Settings.
    2Select Printers to open the Printers window, and 
    double-click the Samsung CLP-550 Series icon.

    images. Documents with complicated 
    fonts, such as Korean, Chinese, or 
    other types of fonts, will print faster in 
    this setting.
