Check out this link and go down to where it says "Dell - Firmware" and then go over to the right and click the blue Download link. Run through that (I don't know what it looks like, sorry) and see if it will update your printer firmware. It looks like that is a fix for some job getting stuck in the queue, which sounds similar to the problem you're currently experiencing.
