6. Make the "Cancel Printing" button (rightmost of the three) "Cancel AND Clean out the Windows printer queue as well" so one does not have the printer automatically resume printing on a Restart, or Windows to resume where it left off and keep printing once turned off and back on. Going into Control Panel > Devices & Printers > Selecting whatever printer might be holding onto a file to print > and clearing it of remaining jobs (often the same one) is a total pain! I just want it to Stop Printing! if I hit the "Cancel" icon. Something stuck in that queue is a nightmare and often slow to get it to cleaned out completely too.
Wasting paper on a Windows printer queue that holds (or even "Saves") a image file and tries again later after I have hit the "QI Cancel button" gets expensive at $5 a sheet. Windows 8-64 gets persistent on saving stuff in that printer queue if I cancel out a job. Cancel should "CANCEL" and not resume/restart later on.

Hi Mack,
The Cancel in Qimage is to cancel the creation of the print job. It never can stop a printing job that has left Qimage and gone to the Windows spooler and beyond, into the printer itself.
That's different territory.
Once Qimage says, finished processing, that print file is gone. You can actually close Qimage at that point and the prints will keep printing.
You usually have a cancel button on the printer itself... that is still not an immediate kill either.
If it's a multiple sheet job and you must stop the print, then kill the power to the printer. Then you will have to go and Cancel the job from the Spooler in Windows.
That's all I can think of.
