Try as root:

lpadmin -x

That should delete any pending print jobs

Hope this helps

there's also

Code:

lpq

(which shows jobs that are queued) and

Code:

lprm <job_id_from_lpq>

which should kill that particular job.

I found that lpadmin -x wants the printer name. For example:
lpadmin -x hp_printer

I also use the command: lprm -
