<title>Cancel a print job</title>
+<!-- Needs review! -->
+
+<p>If you accidentally started printing a document, you can quickly cancel the print so you don't need to waste any ink or paper. Click the printer icon on the top bar and then click <gui>Cancel</gui>.</p>
+
+<p>If this doesn't cancel the print like you expected, try holding down the <gui>Cancel</gui> button on your printer.</p>
+
+<p>As a last resort, especially if you have a big print job with a lot of pages that won't cancel, remove the paper from the printer's paper input tray. The printer should realize that there is no paper and will stop printing. You can then try cancelling the print job again, or try turning the printer off and then on again. Be careful that you don't damage the printer when removing the paper, though - if you would have to pull hard on the paper to remove it, you should probably just leave it where it is.</p>

+<title>Print envelopes and labels</title>
+
+<p>Most printers will allow you to print directly onto an envelope or sheet of labels. This is especially useful if you have a lot of letters to send, for example.</p>
+
+<section id="envelope">
+ <title>Printing onto envelopes</title>
+
+ <p>There are two things you need to check when trying to print onto an envelope. The first is that your printer knows what size the envelope is. After you click <gui>Print</gui> and the Print window appear, go to the <gui>Page Setup</gui> tab and choose the <gui>paper type</gui> as "envelope" if you can. If you can't do this, see if you can change the <gui>paper size</gui> to an envelope size (e.g. "C5"). The pack of envelopes will say what size they are; most envelopes come in standard sizes. If you don't have a standard-sized envelope </p>
+
+ <p>Secondly, you need to make sure that the envelopes are loaded with the right side up in the printer's in-tray. Check the printer's manual for this, or try to print a single envelope and check which side is printed on to see which way is the right way up.</p>
+
+<note style="warning">
+ <p>Some printers are not designed to be able to print envelopes, especially some laser printers. Check your printer's manual to see if it accepts envelopes; otherwise, you could damage the printer by feeding an envelop in.</p>

+<title>Clearing a paper jam</title>
+
+<p>Sometimes printers incorrectly feed sheets of paper and get jammed.</p>
+
+<p>The manual for your printer will usually provide detailed instructions on how to clear paper jams. Usually, you will need to open one of the printer's panels to find the jam inside and then firmly (but carefully!) pull the jammed paper out of the printer's feeding mechanism.</p>
+
+<p>Once the jam has been cleared you may need to press the <gui>Resume</gui> button to start printing again. With some printers, you may even need to turn the printer off and then on again, and then start the print job again.</p>
