HP Officejet Pro 8630
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Just purchased the HP Officejet 8630, and while printing could not readily find a "CANCEL" key/icon to cancel the action.  My old HP 8500 had an actual cancel key.  Short of going into the computer system and cancelling the print job that way, does anyone know how to cancel via the touchscreen?   Or, will my only option now be to go into my system the longer way?  (Even with the printer shortcup icon on my computer - it's still longer than just pressing a nice CANCEL key!).  I've been trying to search for an answer on line, and cannot find anything addressing this issue.  Thank you.

Hi,

Once you print, the printer shouws "Prinitng..." on the top of its screen.

 

Once you tap the print option shown at the front panel you will see the Cancel option.

without going on the computer to cancel the print job.

Finally, I found the way to cancel the print job. Your instructions are not very clear, and nothing in the manual that i found to explain how to do this. Adding an icon to the printer menu would have been much more helpful. This is why I am dissapointed with this printer. My old HP Officejet 7410 was set up much better than this  one.

That only temporarily stops it. It then restarts from the beginning. How do you cancel it completely?
