You should be able to cancel jobs using the local CUPS interface.   
Type 127.0.0.1:631 in any web browser and you should get the CUPS  
management page. Click on Manage Printers, this should give you a  
list of printers setup on the machine, click on the link to the  
printer, you should see a list of active jobs, click on the job and  
then cancel.

I will poke around at a school on Monday and see what other options  
may be available.

Hope this helps.
