I've got a problem when I try to delete a network printer on my domain controller:
there are 2 jobs queued for the printer (by/for users) which I can't seem to delete ( they have status: delete - error - printed ).
Using cancel/restart/pause doesn't work.
I don't use spooling for this printer.

Is there any way I can delete these 2 jobs or delete the printer ?

You might not be "spooling" on the client side, but you should still be using the "Spooler" service on the server. You might want to stop the Spooler service, delete the contents in your spooler (WINNT\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS) folder and then try to delete your printer. Don't forget to restart the service after.
