Hello!

If you can't contact our support team, we recommend trying this. Unplug your printer from it's power source. While the printer is unplugged, press the power button 10 times, this will discharge any residual power and that should clear the cached data the printer is trying to print.. Then plug the printer back in, turn it back on, and see if it still tries to print. If it does, you may need to contact support in Germany on Monday for further support.

I hope this helps!
