We have had this happen occasionally.  I can't say that any one
technique actually took care of the immediate problem.  Turning the
printer off and back on sometimes works.  If its a smart printer,
there's usually a menu option to cancel a print job. 
I do know that staying current on service packs seems to get rid of
those annoying printer issues.  We had one where the print screen button
would print the screen - but in some really weirdo font that was almost
impossible to read.  The latest service pack took care of the problem.

Sometimes we will have print jobs printing to printers attached to a
persons PC and configured as an AS/400 printer thru CA go nutzoid.
 
That is the AS/400 thinks it is done printing (obviously all in
printer
buffer) and the printer will start printing one line of garbage
characters per page then go to next page.  Sometimes even if we turn
off
printer and re-boot PC the printer will start printing again.  Is
there
any way to stop them???
