  Is there an easy way either via the web frontend or CLI to cancel all the
  jobs in a CUPS queue. I have several Cups servers in the College and every
  now and again students go a bit "click" happy and try to print hundreds of
  copies of the same document.

  Currently I'm going in via the web frontend and cancelling each job in turn
  which is a little tiresome *grin*

  The servers are Debian "Woody" with Wn2K clients printing via IPP

  Thanks
