This is how I do it:

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.
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.
