I'm a simple home Linux user/administrator.  I have somehow gotten my LPRng queues into an inconsistent state that I don't know how to fix.  It appears that I have a job that was attempted to be aborted that was never completed.  This seems to have appeared in the queue about a month ago. If I actually turn on the attached printer, it starts spewing out pages with garbage.  I don't know how to get rid of this job.
 
I'm running RedHat 7.0 with installed with the RPM "LPRng-3.7.4-23".  The output of "lpq -L" is attached below.
 
I would really appreciate any help that people can offer.
Thanks,
Craig
