Deleting Documents in the Print Queue (Mac)

Content Id: 8200484900

Solution

When printing documents from a Macintosh, if the printing stops halfway or the documents cannot be printed for some reason, these data may be temporarily stored on the computer as documents in the print queue.

If there are documents in the print queue in the Macintosh, there are cases where new documents added to the print queue cannot be printed.In that case, you need to delete the documents in the print queue, and then print again.

Follow the procedures below to print the documents again after having deleted the documents in the print queue.

Caution

Depending on the version of Mac OS X, screen displays and operating procedures may slightly differ.
