Really? You held the button down until all the lights had blicked in a row (top down then possibly down up) and then a final "flash" or two before going back to green? This really should stop it. Please try again and let me know. Thanks a bunch. (Huie D.)

Additionally, if you DO hold down the "Ready/Go" button (top left side of printer), give it a 4-5 second hold and you should see the lights flash then go back to green. Hope this helps. :-)

Holding down the "Ready/Go" button should work. It does for me. Hope this helps. :-)

If you have a PC, on the task bar, lower left is the start icon. Click that to brink up Devices and Printers, click on the pix of the 2040 printer and under the printer you will see "see whats printing" plus view,pause,cancel printing. click cancel printing. Highlite the printing job that you wish to cancel and cancel. It takes a while to go thru the proceedure so practice a few times. I know, it's a waste of paper, but if you are printing 20 or more pages, learn how....

You need to do that in the printer controls in your computer. Or you can always just turn the printer off, but it will continue when you turn it on again.

Yes, even after repeated warning I printed documents. However once the ink is gone the quality is really bad. You could probably go at least a couple of months if you don't print daily.

The "Print Center" is located in the upper right corner. You should be able to print your return or you can save file as a PDF and then print it.

Just ignore the HP response and keep right on printing. When you print color starts to fade just change all the cartridges and move on. Their is no switch to turn off. Lynn

When you change a ink cartridge, take the other one out also and shake it .... never use discount cartridges... turn the printer off and start again and/or reboot the computer or sending devise...

The printer tells you that it is not a genuine cartridge and you must choose 1 for yes or 2 for no Choose 1 to continue you might get a banner on your computer if you have it connected the the cartridge is not genuine just press continue

Have you tried checking the print folder in your control panel? You might be able to remove the unwanted project from the queue. I haven't had this printer in over 10 years, put I think that should work. Let me know if it works out.

I don't see why you would want to get rid of it. You simply don't have to use it. You can use the cable it comes with and connect it to your computer. The majority of printers comes with wireless capabilities these days. It's a nice option to have.

I'm not sure but you can put it in your cart, go all the way to the end, see how much your total is, and then click out of it to cancel the order.

The printer will draw paper from whichever try you have specified. Look on the print box, it will give you options.

There is no way to stop a print job unless you are lightening fast enough to catch it in the printer dialogue box in your computer.

The first ciss I purchased had a button on the cartridge, in the most recent I just turn off and on the printer.

The ink cartridges that come with the printer do not seem to be fully filled and do not last long. You will want to buy new cartridges soon.I was able to use re-manufactured cartridges. You just have to press and hold the red Stop button for about 5 seconds after the alert light comes up showing that a newly installed cartridge is out of ink. Do not cancel the print job. When the light goes out, continue printing as you normally would. The LCD panel will show it can not determine the ink level of the cartridge, but it will print just fine.

Do you have an online manual? All the answers can be found in it. I believe you can press and hold the STOP button to clear it. Check your paper and ink, too.

On my printer I can refill and reset the original cartridges. I found that, when you get a message for empty cartridge you press and hold the stop button (not the on and off switch) for about 10 seconds.
