I'm terribly sorry, but it seems I accidently trashed your answers on
how to kill the printer queu :-/ I think I remember that John, Paul and
Anne (and maybe Stephen?) send me a reply. I would be most thankfull if
you could send it again. I'll try to be more carefull with the big old
trashbutton over here....

Do the following:
Check whether there are jobs in the queue and kill them:
On the command line enter
lpstat -o
If there is any output, do either
cancel -a <printer name>
to kill all jobs or
cancel <first word of job list line>
to kill one particular job.
With "kups" click on the "Jobs" tab and right-click on a job entry. In
the pop-up menu you will find commands to kill the chosen or all jobs
for this printer.If this does not stop the printing, do a
killall -9 parallel
as "root".
If there are broken, unkillable jobs, clean up the spool directories:
service cups stop
rm -f /var/spool/cups/* /var/spool/cups/tmp/*
killall -9 parallel
service cups startNow the printer should have stopped.
