You can also manage documents you send to the printer. You can pause, resume, or cancel printing of a document; restart printing of a document; or you may view and change job settings, such as the priority and the person notified when the job is done. For documents waiting to print, you can view, but not change, settings such as the page orientation, paper source, and number of copies.
