Hi Vegard Sam Watkins suggested: you can use the programs "lpq" and "lprm" to show the printer queue and remove jobs from it respectively.

No. This is the grep process you just ran. The Process ID is 1470. So it would appear that lpr is not running. Sam's suggestion looks like the best option. FWIW, if you install cups it will give you access to manage the print queue via a webinterface. To install cups look at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing/ You won't need samba and smb.client unless you're sharing printers with windows PCs.
