Yes, I've always done that to flush the junk from the printer buffer.

Its just trying to continue the print job, but should have exited.
Maybe cups is sending it a kill signal, since it ignores them.
You need kill -9.

Now its worse. This time, I cancel the job, kill parallel, and cyle the
printer. CUPS says printer is not reasy. Restarting CUPS doesnt fix it.

Does _anybody_ have CUPS working properly with a parallel printer?
