Still in the year of our Lord 2020, once a document hits the Windows Printer Spooler, good luck trying to cancel/abort it.

From an elevated powershell/cmd:

  net stop spooler
  cd *:\windows\system32\spool\printers
  (remove all files in this directory) 
  net start spooler
Stupid, but this fixes like 80% of windows printer problems, most of which IME are random one-off issues with a document getting spooled and the printer not being activated
