I couldn't find anything like this, but I do not think it is a core windows or hp 
problem.

I would start with msconfig -- Start, click Run, type msconfig.
1. Disable all start-up items, print and re-boot.
2. If it works (no printing), enable a few start-up items, print and re-boot. Repeat 
to find the culprit.

If msconfig does not find it, try uninstalling/re-installing all of the printers 
software (including the drivers). Check hp for updated drivers.

You could try DELeting the queue from a batch file, but I am not sure of it's exact 
location. I would guess it is a sub-folder under WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SPOOL. Also, I 
think it will probably be too late to stop the job anyway.
Command --> del c:WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\sub-folder\*.*

If none of those work, I need more information:
Did this work before (new development)?
Any new hardware/software?
Does it happen with ANY job (notepad, print screen, corel draw, web print)?
Is it a network printer?
