[plug] cancelling a CUPS print job

Sounds like our SCO OpenServer box's print system :-( at least in terms 
of the level of stuffing about to do simple things.

The POST has a nightly cron job on our SCO box that runs:

/usr/lib/lpshut
kill `ps -ef | grep lpd | awk '{print $2}'`
/usr/lib/lpsched
/usr/lib/lpd

because the print system just periodically dies. You'd think that 
there'd be less stuffing about involved in printing on modern *NIX, but 
increasingly it seems to be almost as bad - though in different ways.
