How to View Currently Installed Printers
Over time, you may install multiple printers, in which case you
may want to remind yourself of the capabilities of each or view the documents
you have sent to be printed. You can also cancel existing print jobs. To view
the printers you have installed and view and modify any documents currently in
line for printing, follow these steps:
1.Choose
Start→View Devices and Printers.
The Devices and Printers window displays a list of installed
printers and fax machines. If a printer has documents in its print queue, the
number of documents is listed at the bottom of the window.
2.If
you want more detail about the documents or want to cancel a print job, select the printer and click the See What’s Printing button at the top
of the window.
A list of documents appears.
3.Click
a document and choose Document→Cancel to stop the printing, if you want.
To return to the Devices and Printers window, click the
Closebutton.
4.Right-click any printer and then choose Properties
to see details about it.
You see information such as which port it’s plugged into or
whether it can print color copies.
5.Click
the Close button (the red X in the upper right).
The Devices and Printers window closes.
