SOURCE: document locked in que
Solution #1 Have you tried to power off the computer itself? The document is most likely locked in the PC not the printer. Unplug the printer's power, power down the computer, wait a minute or so then restart the computer. Once the machine has loaded check the print queue to verify the document is no longer there, if so you can plug the printer back in and the issue should be resolved.
Solution #2
From the Start menu, select Control Panel. Then follow this path:
Administrative Tools > Services > Print Spooler
Once at the Print Spooler, right click on it. Select Stop. Leave this window open. Turn off your printer.
At the open Print Spooler window, right click on the Print Spooler, and select Start.
Go
to the Start menu, and select Printers & Faxes. Find the printer
you are having problems with and double click on it. From the menu,
select Printer, then select Cancel All Documents. The documents should
clear.
Turn on your printer. You sould now be able to print.

The print que doesn't come from the printer. I have the same printer. You have to go into the printer software and cancel all the documents waiting to be printed. If worse comes to worse uninstall and reinstall the printer.
Windows. Start>Settings>Printers and Faxes>Select printer>Open>Click on Documents>Cancel all documents if there are any waiting to be printed.It takes a long time to cancel documents so be patient and then restart your computer. I still have XP. Other Windows might be a bit different b.
