not panicking yet!
People, I am in a tizzy, and I ask your advice.
I have a paper due this afternoon. This morning, I went to print it out; it printed one page and then jammed. I fixed the jam, and it said it was continuing to print. It did nothing. Since then, that print job has been in my queue, listed as "pending." Nothing I have done in the hours since has changed this. I tried disconnecting the printer from my laptop. I tried restarting the printer. I tried restarting my computer. Attempting to cancel the print job changes the status to "Deleting - Printing", where it has now been for many hours. Trying to print the file again does nothing, as it simply goes behind this job in the queue, and this job will never finish.
Do I have any options here besides emailing the professor to see if she will take it as an email attachment?
EDITED TO ADD: CRISIS AVERTED. Sometimes doing the same thing over and over and flailing helplessly DOES work! Good to know!
(Another fun fact about Erica's Day in Academics: my linguistics professor apparently decided to just not show up for the final this afternoon. As in, the entire class sat in the empty silent classroom for over an hour before someone ran down to the linguistics department to ask them what we should do and they sent us home. The working hypothesis is that she thought the exam time was 3pm and not 1pm, but considering how many million times she reminded us during the last class to double-check the exam times on the website, it is not a particularly good excuse.)
