Although bad form, sending:

    STATE: none

will clear all of the printer-state-reasons associated with a queue, and sending:

    INFO:

will clear the printer-state-message.

That said, you shouldn't try to clear the messages from other filters or backends - if you see messages that you are not generating and think should not be there, please file a bug with Apple (bugreport.apple.com).
