I had a very similar problem last night. My solution was to remove
the job from the queue using lprm (I have cupsys-bsd installed ...
lpr compatibility), and then runs "cupsenable printername" to start
the queue again. You can probably do a similar thing from the web
interface too (on http://localhost:631/).
