My brother tried to print an 18 page document. He claims he only hit print once; I know him better than that (meaning he pushed it minimum 3 times). I've restarted all the computers, the router (print server), and printer multiple times. Yet every time I turn it back on it prints more copies of this stupid 18 page long guitar tab. What do I do?!?
 
Pull power to the router and the printer. The print jobs may be in some sort of flash memory.
 
They stopped. Gosh, he must have printed half a dozen copies of this thing on a printer that eeks out maybe 5 pages per minute.

What's worse is when you do that with a printer that does closer to 50 pages a minute. By the time you realize the mistake you might have wasted a couple hundred pages and a good deal of toner. :D
 
The print jobs were probably sitting in your computer's print que. Your computer just waited for everything to come on again and resumed printing were it left off.
