Which distro?

Try as root, it may be a permissions problem, particularly if the job came from a remote machine.

Otherwise, pleas post more info about your setup.

I hope this helps

Is there a reason that you always login as root?? This a really bad security risk, as well as the chance that you will do something stupid.

Is the printer local or networked? What user set the print job? Have you tried restarting the cups service?
