I tried turning it off, but when I turn it back on, it resumes the test print, when it runs out of paper, and I put paper back in, it resumes printing countless test pages.  Please help.

if you see an icon at the bottom right hand of your screen double clik it and then right click the job that is open and hit cancel. if you dont see it then hit ctrl alt delete and goto processes,find the printer there and stop that process. most printers have a cancel on it,if so hit that. other then that not sure.\nThe Maddmann

go to printers in control panel and delete print job and try again.  Try restarting computer and turning printer on then off if that fails.

a spooler is a process that controls adding and removing thigs from queues - in this case, seeing as you've mentioned having an issue with your printer i'd guess it's your printer spooler causing issues - firstly, just unplug your printer from the power socket on the wall, wait a minute (literally 60 seconds) and power it back on. If this doesnt help - switch off printer power again and restart your pc with it off - this *should* clear your print queue - once you power your printer back on it should work. If it doesn't then an unistall and reinstall of your printer drivers should sort it out.

I've read some reviews on this printer, and they all say if one cartridge dries out or is empty, it will not print anything.  You may have to invest in new cartridges.\n\nhttp://www.stormlabs.com/Cameras/Photo_Printers/Reviews/595026/id/17781/

try printing text not images making sure the paper size is set ok and and try printing the printer test page - if it is still playing up then try reinstalling or updating the drivers, other than that it may well have died - the firmware within n the machine that translates the computer stuff to printer head location and ink squirt is not doing it's job

check your printer settings.  MS Word did this to me as well and I had to restart the computer and reset all of the printers settings to default.\n\nGood Luck.\n\nTom

Go into your control panel and click on printers...check to make sure that your default printer isn't "Print to a Fax File"...the default is the one with the check mark on it. If your printer isn't the one checked...right click it and select "Use as Default" That should fix it :)

What do u mean by kicked out of control panel?\nWhich OS are u running.\nWhat I would do is to uninstall the printer driver, reinstall it and then update the driver. It helped me with my printer problems. Unplug the printer uninstall and reinstlall the driver the plug the printer back in and see how it goes.\n\nDanEEngineer@yahoo.com

It sounds like the images exceed the memory size of the printer.  Your printer seems to load print file into its memory till full and pauses before print, but somehow loses connection with the file once it starts and the remaining can not load.  You might want to try connecting printer using differrent type of cable and re-loading printer software.  Sometimes old and low quality cables are known to interfer with printing.\n\nAs for the mark running down your paper it sounds like dirt somewhere in the printer on the paper path or in fuser.   If you are running paper thicker than the machine can handle it will rub its ways through on printing and pickup excessive dirt/toner.  Also if the paper is to thick for the printer you can get feed roller marks.\n\nMost importantly make sure your printer can handle the papers your using.  If your questions title is correct your using a B/W laser printer which might not be really made to use card stock paper.

The Dell A940 is actually a Lexmark printer and I hate to say this, rubbish. Full uninstall and the then reinstall might do it. \n\nThis happens on Lexmark printers all the time, so much so they issued a cleanup tool to download. Unfortunately as it is Dell branded no such tool is available.\n\nOn to the dell support line you go.... If you are lucky, you will still be alive by the time they reply!!!
