 From the Terminal window, use:

     cancel -a

If you don't want any job history, edit the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file
and change the line:

     PreserveJobHistory yes

to:

     PreserveJobHistory no

and then reboot or "sudo killall -HUP cupsd" in the Terminal window.

For less job history, look at the MaxJobs directive in the same
file (default is 500).
