my computer has been printing non-stop for the last several hours. when i try to make it stop printing, my computer says "you don't have permission to stop printing" it's nearly run out of paper three times and i'm worried it will run out of ink. any ideas?

if you have one of those refillable cartridges you can poor in more ink while its printing, u just have to be quick to match movements with the carriage

like 15 years ago at university they were forcing us to use some ancient barebone distro i forgot and i really had to print a pdf a prof gave us but i only really needed the first page so i launched ghostview or whatever and made extra sure to tell it to print 1 copy of page 1 naturally it started making GBS threads out a stream of pages at light speed so i ran to the printer to pull out the paper tray but it was locked. i turned to the spooler but a password was required to kill a print job. so i just stood there while the printer wasted its entire paper supply. the department charged us like 10 cents a page or some poo poo and they emailed me saying i owed them like 50 bucks. lol i never paid welp that's my linux printing story bye

one time in college i was hanging out with a friend who worked in the computer lab, and there was a bug where printing PDFs was charged as just one page. we noticed that the printer seemed to be going for a long time and stopped it halfway through a 750 page book. the student who had printed it only needed one page so she flipped through the stack, grabbed that one page, and dropped the rest in the recycling bin.

op, printing is a natural thing that all computers do. sometimes they build up print jobs that have to be released. there’s no need to be embarrassed by it, it’s perfectly normal. some do it very rarely and some do it multiple times per day. trying to suppress the print jobs is only going to make your computer act out in strange ways. don’t interrupt your computer while it’s printing, and when it’s done you’ll find a happy and healthy computer.

Set the printer on fire, it can detect that and even has an error code for it.

have you considered getting in the car with some of your coworker buddies, taking the printer out to a field, and bashing on it while playing a geto boys song? i think that would be "epic"

i straight up do not understand why printers are still so loving bad and unreliable after so many decades is it just inherently difficult to translate computer into paper?

Whoops
