If I'm not mistaken, you can also delete jobs in the queue using cups'
web interface (if not a command line tool, as well).
In your web browser, go to http://localhost:631, then click the "Manage
Printers" link, click on the printer with the jobs to be canceled and
then delete the appropriate jobs from the queue. (Looks like you can
click the "Manage Jobs" link as well, instead of "Manage Printers".)
HTH,
Jacob
