The brute force way ...

log in as root (of course). "cd" to the spool directory (on our system it's 
"/usr/spool/lpd" iirc). Yours should be /usr/spool/somewhere ...

In this, you'll have directories for each of your print queues. "cd" into the 
relevant directory, and "rm *". One queue's worth of crap up the swanee :-)
