Product: LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP

I have a printer model (LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn) and I need to cancel and clear the printing process and jobs from the LCD control panel of the printer as I have a lot of unprinted documents and I need to clear them from the printer itself not from the Windows operating system. So kindly advice for the proper procedure to cancel and clear these documents by one process for all (Not individually for each document).

Reboot the printer.  This will clear the queue of jobs that are currenty in its memory.

 

Once the printer reboots it will resume with any jobs that are left over in the connected PCs.  You will want to make sure teh queues are clean on the PCs while you are at it.  I often reboot the printer offline to make sure it gets completly into the Ready screen before reconnecting it to the network or USB connections.
