Bug#810474: cups: Unable to clear print queue

[David Christensen <dpchrist@holgerdanske.com>]

Package: cups
Version: 1.5.3-5+deb7u6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

If I print a large job from an application and then discover it is bad,
I am unable to stop the job and clear the print queue. 

-  If I power down the printer, the print job restarts when I power
up the printer.

- If I power down the printer and computer, the print job restarts when
I power them up.

- If I go to Xfce -> Settings -> Printing, right click on my printer
and choose View Print Queue, I see nothing.

- If I issue the command 'cancel -a' as root, the job still prints.


David
