Ok... tried that with no luck (I had already manually removed the print jobs
from /var/spool/lpd as suggested by Jim Conner).
The printer still wants to print.... thinking that the print job might be
perhaps now stuck in the printer's memory instead I powered it down (power
button on the front of the printer... perhaps that's not a complete powerdown
so I'll unplug the thing in a sec... for a bit and then turned it back on...
but surprise, surprise.... the printer still wanted to print. The printer is
an Epson Stylus Color 400 I picked up from our junk pile and resucitated btw.
