Probably You're printing to a remote printer via aps... In that case the
remote queue is simply named 'remote'. Try to clean remote -> "lpc clean
remote". If that does not work try "lpc clean all". If it doesn't work
either, do a "lpc stat" and look out for something like '... entry in
spool area', get that queue and clean it.
