Hey Alice,
Hope your trip to HK was fun, welcome home.

Mandrake's CUPS install defaults with the LPR emulation enabled. From a
terminal window try typing:

lprm

to remove all of the jobs in the default print spool. You should be able
to look at the jobs from there with:

lpq

at the command prompt in a terminal window too.
