I've had exactly the same problem with just a single Windows PC connected to 2 printers (both installed on the system) through a data switch. Print with the data switch switched to the wrong printer, [EMAIL PROTECTED]&*"!!!!.... Cancel the printing - no effect Delete the print job at the print manager - no effect. Power down the PC and re-boot - no effect if the printer was still on. Shut off the printer AND power down AND wait before re-booting - the printer re-starts spewing garbage until it's discharged its internal buffer. Gaaaaaaaaaaah!
It would be nice if printers came with a 'Flush printer internal buffer' option.
