I no longer seem to have access to the printer during printing. I
recall that in earlier versions of OS X, that in system preferences

like the "epson print monitor" of OS 9. I needed to stop a photo I
was printing because I had set up the wrong page size, and the
printer was spraying ink all over where there was no paper during
the process. But try as I might, there was no way to stop it,
because there was no "print center" or epson print monitor to call up.
Hi Sid:
I'm not familiar with the Epson 890, but I think the procedure should
be similar to my Epson 925 and 2200.
As Paul noted, the utility formerly known as Print Center is not (no
longer?) in System Preferences but in "Applications -> Utilities ->
Printer Setup Utility". When you open it, it shows you a list of
printers you have configured. You double-click on a printer and it'll
open a window showing the jobs in the queue for that printer. From
there, you can start/stop the print jobs, delete them, etc. Since
this is a separate application from the setup utility, I keep the
queue applications that I frequently use in the dock or make an alias
of it and put it somewhere convenient, like the desktop. That way, I
can launch the print queue directly without opening the Printer
Setup Utility first.
