problems cancelling print jobs in RHEL

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

I powered off the print server, the job still shows in the queue. The following commands show what happens when I cancel the print job and it still appears.

# cancel HP2
cancel: cancel-job failed: No active jobs on HP2!

# lpstat -o
