I am running cups version 1.4.1-4 in squeeze. Lenny has a different 
version of cups so.....

Go to the Jobs tab in cups.  You should be able to find of the jobs 
shown when you did the lpq -a.  Delete them.

Re-reading your OP, I am now confused as to what you want.  You are 
using usb but the lpq -a  showed you had files in the cups spooler under 
a printer using the lp interface.  Did you change printers or how you 
connect to them?

I don't recall having any problems printing from firefox/iceweasel using 
lenny but I only use it occasionally to get security upgrades.

Sorry if this doesn't help.  As no one else has responded you might give 
google a shot.
