hold down the WINDOWS KEY + press R to bring up the RUN command

type in CONTROL PRINTERS, it will bring up a screen with all your printers

RIGHT CLICK your printer, select SHOW WHAT'S PRINTING

Delete all those print jobs. May have to reboot several times to ensure they all get deleted.

Alternatively, some printers have a STOP or CANCEL or X button. Spam that button when it initiates a print job. Keep doing until it stop printing.
