Well, don't do that again. :) Print queues on Unix are stubborn, er,
especially reliable. :)

You can inspect the print queue with the lpq command, and remore files
from the print queue using lprm. lprm - will remove all files from the
queue, which is probably what you want. Or, you can go to single-user
mode and manually remove the files from /var/spool/lpd, although you
should be careful to preserve the directory structure.
