Job is stuck in the spooler:

lpstat otc1

"cancel" won't work. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thank you very much.
 
try running
/usr/lib/lpshut followed by /usr/lib/lpsched
this will restart your spool service.
It usally removes stuck print jobs.
/Sören
 
as [root]
cd /usr/spool/lp/requests
then rm the job.
then /usr/lib/lpshut; /usr/lib/lpsched
