FreeBSD 4.11-Stable.  My printer has gone beszerk.......and, I cant clear 
the queue.

Here is some output:

bash-2.05b$ lpq -P hp

bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/printcap

This is a local printer on lp0.  I set it up using apsfilter, and I dont use 
cups.

I want to delete these jobs but dont know what else to do.
