This is a common thing to happen. Normaly it would be solved by cancelling the print job in windows and then resetting your printer (refer to your printer's manual in how to reset it).

actually that is the proper way of doing it though...
--------
Note that simply turning to printer off/on will not help in most printers as they keep their recieved data for a while. You explicitly need to reset them (useually by pressing some buttons simultaniously), that's why the reset function is there in the first place
.
The reason that some printers seem to reset also if you simply cancel the printer job in Windows is because in most cases the printing wasn't done in the background or the printer doesn't have cache memory. The data send to your printer will be cut right away in that case and the printer has nothing more to print.
But true, it can be a real pain in the but sometimes
(I once smashed an old printer on the floor because I was so frustrated because of this situation and was loosing time trying to cancel the print because I had an appointment to go to (turning PC off wasn't an option)... So I smashed the printer down and left for my appointment 
)
