Thanks for the advice. I took what you said, then added more instructions 
from another user (Sharrea) and now, I'll see what happens the next time I 
reboot. BTW, here is Sharreas' instructions:

1.  In a browser go to:  http://127.0.0.1:631/
2.  Click on "Administration" and enter root + root password
3.  Click "Manage Jobs"
4.  Click "Cancel Job" on the same line as the print job.  Close browser.

(I'm adding this - don't forget to note whatever job # was stuck so you can 
use below)

5.  In a console:  su to root
6.  # cd /var/spool/cups
    #  ls -a
    #  rm -f <job number>
7.  Turn the printer off, wait a while then turn it back on.

Thanks a lot to the 2 of you!!!! :-)
