The thing I find humorous about this conversation is that I've *never*
been able to kill a print job under Windows. I open the little "printer
manage" window thing and click on "Cancel" and "Pause" and "Stop" and
everything else and nothing seems to happen. I invariably wind up
unplugging the printer until Windows decides it's done printing.

lprm always works for me though...
