Stop the printer using Command Center (unless you have better way), then
run tunelp -r /lp0 (or the correct equivalent device.)

Sometimes I have to clear the /var/spool/cups (files only) and the
/var/spool/cups/tmp directory to make this work.

I am running CUPS on KDE. This isn't the first time this has happened to
me. I 
start a print job and something goes wrong. The printer starts spitting
out 
pages with a single line of characters and nothing else. If I try to
kill the 
job, there doesn't seem to be anything to kill. I can stop the printer.
But 
when it starts again, the pages start spitting out the same way. If I
type 
lprm as root, I get: 
 
lprm: Unable to cancel job(s)! 
 
If I try lpq, it doesn't report any jobs in the queue, so there is
nothing I 
can kill. I tried killing cupsd. When it starts again, the pages start 
spitting out again. The only thing I know to do is to remove the printer
and 
reinstall it. Is there any way I can just find this job and kill it?
