If you run CUPS, you have to change settings so that CUPS overwrites the
BSD LPR commands (they have the same name for compatibility).

Add CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=true and NO_LPR=true to /etc/make.conf before
installing CUPS.

If that's done, you can give the command 'lprm -' as root to cancel all jobs.
