Start by clearing the printer queue. If this does not work, post back with the complete error message, the make and model of the printer, how it is connected to your computer, and the version of Windows you have, including service pack.
Clean out the pending print jobs
Open a Command Prompt window (Start > Run > cmd > OK)
Type the following in the black Command Prompt window and press Enter after each line (don't forget the double quote marks)
net stop spooler
del /Q "%windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.*"
net start spooler
exit
