I have never had a problem with this in Windows. You simply unplug the damn
thing and when it re-boots it allows you to kill the print job.
Alternate you can use MS approach but 1/2 the time it doesn't work.
Another sure approach is to use a big hammer on the computer.

Except that it does not work for the job being printed for a HP printer.

I may be wrong but I believe it was Cannon printers (three of them) BC
something I was setting up in the office on Linux.
Never did get it to print correctly.
Later I found out that for the printers I was attempting to set up RH has
posted a warning that the print drivers are not to good.
