error catching in print task

Hello,

I'm using printTask and am having trouble breaking out of the print task itself. While I can identify the error (using the printTask.error event) I can't seem to stop the overall print function from continuing to run. My basic setup is:

function createPrintTask () {

// params =   a bunch of parameters for the different templates.....

printTask = new esri.tasks.PrintTask(location of print service);
printTask.execute(params, printResult);

printTask.on('error', function () {
     alert ("error");
     return;   //// This is where I'd like to get out of the printTask execution
}
}

function printResult(result) {
   // handles print result
}

In order to exit, I've tried using 'break;' and 'return false;' . What I'd like to happen is that the printTask would stop executing. Any ideas on how to do this? What do I need to actually stop: the printTask object, or the createPrintTask function?
