OfficeJet Pro 8710 won't stop printing

[PPORTER61]

My HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 won't stop printing.  It keeps "spitting" sheets of paper, some with one line of gibberish on it, others with maybe one or two characters on it.  I've unplugged it, turned it off and on.  Short of uninstalling and starting all over again I am at a loss as to what may be causing this problem.  Any instruction/help would be greatly appreciated,  I'm tired of having to toss paper in the trash.  If it helps, the only thing that MIGHT be connected to this is a few days ago the company's internet went down.  I just rebooted my system and everything was fine.  Then the printer started acting crazy.  Help, I've got documents I need to print out...
