Depending on what you're using, there are a couple of ways to accomplish 
that.  You can use 'lpq' and 'lprm' on the command line; 'lpq' gives you 
what is in the queue, and 'lprm' lets you remove jobs from the queue.  If 
you use KDE, you can use the KDE Print Manager to remove jobs from the 
queue with just a couple of clicks.

I don't know what the GNOME equivalent would be, however.
