yes, you are missing something. From 'man lppasswd': DESCRIPTION lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will prompt for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username), change existing accounts (username), or delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX user‐ names. [....] also SEE ALSO lp(1), lpr(1), http://localhost:631/help
If I go to KJobViewer, I can delete everything queued but KDE Print System and KDE Print Test, which are owned by root. If I could find those files in a directory (where is it and what's it called?) I might be able to su and delete them also, and then maybe the system might work, I don't know.
did you try KJobViewer as root ?? Root would own root's jobs.
or search the opensuse list archives. It has been mentioned/described *many* times.
