The printer software may not have actually installed properly.
Assuming for the moment that the printer software is installed, then the problem might be that the Print Service is stuck.
Read through the following and then scroll down to section Print Queue / Print Service Reset
Cancel Print Job
If you catch the job quickly enough, print jobs can be cancelled on the printer.
The “cancel” button might be labeled as such or might present as a red X.
NOTE: Where supported at all, it is normal for the “X” to show on the control panel only briefly.
Once the job is turned over to the print service, cancel the job from the print queue.
Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers
Double-Left-Click on your printer icon > See what’s printing > Click (or Right-Click) on the job > Cancel
Exact wording varies.
OR
Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > Double-Left-Click on your Printer
Double-Left-Click on See what’s printing - Click (or Right-Click) on the job > Cancel
Exact wording varies.
OR
Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners > Click Open queue
Click (or Right-Click) on the job > Cancel
OR
Settings > Devices > Right-Click Printers & Scanners > Pin to Start
Then
Windows key > find the newly PINNED application tile Printers & Scanners
Move the application tile to a Tile Group that is easy to see and open quickly
