Method 1
In your browser visit
http://localhost:631/
(localhost:631 works for me).
Click on the "Jobs" tab, identify the job on the list of print jobs (probably
the last one) and click on the "Cancel" button.
Method 2
In Gnome, open the printer icon in the top panel.
(Alternatively, from the desktop menu:
Desktop -> Administration -> Printing -> Your-printer-icon (double-click).)
Identify the job on the list of print jobs, right-click on the job for the
context menu and click on "Cancel".
