You can open a terminal (Applciations, Accessories)

Then enter the command

lpq

which will show you the print jobs's ID that are in the queue

You can then delete the job you want with the command

lprm ID

The command lprm without arguments shall cancel the actual print job

for more info type "man lprm" in the terminal

Hope that helps
