Are you trying this from a Linux / Windows system?

Alternative: do an lprm on the server.

i am doing in the redhat 9.0

but i could not work, may i know detail of the lprm,
i have tired the lprm the printer job id ,
that could not work because the server repsondd no job and printer is located.

Did you specify the spool queue.

For example, to remove job 5 and 8 in spool queue lp1:

Code:

lprm -P lp1 5 8

The MAN page of lprm contains more detailed options.
