In an email, Saad recently shared with me some advice about cancelling print jobs on the student printers that he’s given me permission to reprint here:
Please note that when a Pharos printer shows blinking green “data” light, this means it is working on a print job. Sometimes when jobs are very big, including images, and when a user requests duplex printing at the same time, it can take a minute for a couple pages to print. Please do NOT turn the printer off and on if the student decides to abandon the job. This may even damage the printer. The only way to cancel the job is to call us (x1640) to contact the person in BCTC who would be able to delete it. Do not place an “out of order” sign.
