Thanks Paul.

I went there and found and tried starting/stopping. So - the next
time I get into the printing problem I'll try it. It would beat
re-booting all to H---.

I think the underlying problem is the non-standard cartridge I am
using which cause the printer to stop with an innocuous warning window
each time I print.
