Have you ever sent a huge print job to your printer, only to realize after the fact that (a) it was the wrong printer, or (b) it was the wrong print job? There are many ways to stop print jobs, including using the Printer Setup Utility and disconnecting the printer’s cable from the computer. But using Printer Setup Utility can be time consuming, meaning you’ll waste more pages before the job terminates, and pulling the cable may leave your print job orphaned in the queue. So here’s a clean, very fast, and easy-to-use alternative that will cancel all print jobs for all users on the current machine.

(Note that if you’ve got a fast connection to a printer with lots of RAM, the job may already be gone from your Mac by the time you realize you want to stop it. If that’s the case, powering down the printer is probably your only solution.) Terminal solution If you don’t mind using Terminal, you can kill all pending print jobs with one simple command: cancel -a - Enter that in Terminal and press Return, and all print jobs should be terminated.

Non-Terminal solution Opening Terminal takes a bit of time, and when you’re trying to cancel a print job, time is of the essence. So here’s an even simpler solution. Open Script Editor, in /Applications - Utilities, and enter the following lines: do shell script 'cancel -a -' display dialog 'No more printing jobs' buttons 'OK' default button 1 Save the script somewhere convenient, such as a folder in your user’s Documents folder. In the Script Editor’s Save dialog, give your program a name (Print Terminator!), and set the File Format pop-up menu to application. After saving the file, locate it in the Finder and the drag it to the sidebar, up to the toolbar, or down into the Dock. Now when you need to quickly kill a print job, just click your new program’s icon in the sidebar, toolbar, or Dock, and you’re done!

You may not need this hint very often, but when you do, your paper supply will thank you for being prepared!

Six weeks after shipping a preview of Office 2019 to commercial customers running Windows, Microsoft this week followed with a beta for the Mac edition of the application suite. 'Office 2019 for Mac. Is set to ship alongside Office 2019 for Windows in the second half of 2018.,' wrote Jared Spataro, the Microsoft executive in charge of Office's product marketing, in a. The vague release window of 'second half of 2018' is as granular as Microsoft will get at this point. Further reading: Like the preview offered to Windows users in April, the beta of Office 2019 for Mac is meant for volume license customers who intend to run the 'perpetual' version of the suite, not the applications provided to Office 365 subscribers.

Office 365 subscribers have no reason to bother beta testing Office 2019 on Mac or Windows in any case: They've already seen what it will offer. The perpetually-licensed Office 2019 will be built from the changes that have accumulated in Office 365's core, Office 365 ProPlus, over the last three years. But for those still running Office for Mac sans a 365 sub, the beta will sport new tools and functionality, including customizable top-of-the-window 'ribbons,' email delivery scheduling and Excel funnel charts.

The process of registering for the Office 2019 for Mac beta is identical to the steps Windows users took to get their preview. Spelled out the steps; they apply for the Mac beta, too. The 2GB-sized preview installer and associated documentation for the bundle - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote - can be downloaded from the portal. According to information elsewhere, Office 2019 for Mac, including the preview, will be supported on the 'two most recent versions of macOS' at any point in time. That means the beta of Office 2019 for Mac will be supported with security patches and other bug fixes on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and 10.12 (Sierra). If the production-grade version of the suite ships after Apple has refreshed macOS this fall, Office 2019 for Mac will be supported on macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and 10.13 (High Sierra).

'For the best experience, use the latest version of any operating system,' Microsoft urged. Office 2019 for Mac and its predecessor, Office 2016 for Mac, cannot be run concurrently, the Redmond, Wash.

Microsoft has not set a release date for a more broadly-distributed Office 2019 for Mac beta available to the general public.
