    Have you tried using lpq and lprm ? type lpq -Pprintername to get some info, and then lprm -Pprintername, followed by the job id or your username to clear everything.

    Normally, lpstat -t will list all the printers available to a system and then list all print jobs in a particular printers queue. A print job looks similar to printer_name-1234. To kill that particular print job type:

    cancel printer-name-1234
