Sending Something to the Printer Again Just Because It Didn't Print the First Time

What do you do if you send something to the printer and nothing happens?

• Right answer: Find out why nothing happened and fix it.

• Wrong answer: Send it again and see whether it works this time.

  Warning

  Some users keep sending it over and over again, hoping that one of these days, it'll take. The result is rather embarrassing when someone finally clears the paper jam and then watches 30 copies of the same letter print. Or when 30 copies of your document print on a different printer because you had the wrong printer selected.
