Is this really a question for FreeBSD-questions? or your printer
manufacturer?

If it crashed while printing from a FreeBSD machine, you could try
typing lpq as root and this should list queued print jobs. Kill the
print job (remove / loses whatever you were printing) using
lprm <print job number>. Then power-off and power-on your printer to
clear it's buffer (or use it's reset / purge) button?

This (possible) solution is a bit drastic, maybe your printer hardware
is dying? Has the ink / toner run out, etc., etc.?
