| We just a runaway job that was printing page after page...I canceled some
| jobs thru UNIX with the cancel command (after doing lpstat) and realized
| that the best way was to use scoadmin.  After going thru all the jobs (i
| removed the paper so I wouldnt waste it), there was one job still in
| queue...I turned printer on and off and put back the paper...now the problem
| is there are jobs waiting behind this one job but I cannot remove it...tried
| with the cancel command and got this
| 
| UX:cancel: WARNING: Request "enroll-92012" is done.
|             TO FIX: It is too late to do anything with it
| 

Try to stop then restart the lp spooler.

Did you try brute force, e.g., rm /usr/spool/lp/temp/92012* ?
