On the machine with the pinter attached:

lpq - to show what jobs are in the queue
cancel [job id] - to kill the job

Always works for me.


Nope. "cancel" is the same as "lprm", and that's the first thing I
always try, in the forlorn hope that perhaps this time it will work.
Yes, the queue status says that it's empty but the printer keeps
spewing out the screwed-up binary.

It works fine (here) for removing yet-to-be-printed jobs from the
queue, but not for ones that have started printing.

what's the size of the buffer of your printer? i don't think that lprm can empty it!
