Try turning off print spooling of that printer -- print directly to the
port instead -- spooling can cause problems of stuck print jobs with
wireless print servers.

You first need to manually clear the print spool queue. The following
batch job (or just enter commands in a Command Prompt window) should do
the trick:

---------------------------------------------------
net stop spooler
del /q %SystemRoot%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*
net start spooler
---------------------------------------------------
