heh, you have much to learn. :-) the terminal area is command line only,
so most windows/gui commands (delete/copy/paste) do not work the same.

Ok, so basically, what the lpq command is returns a bunch of info for
the job queues.

then as root, type in

lprm 1234 (1234 being one of the job ids)

try that and let us know how that works.
