I want the user on the local machine to be able to cancel the job through the Gnome printer applet on the local machine all the way up to the time that the printer on the remote server finishes printing the job. However, I don't want new jobs to wait until the remote printer is finished printing before getting sent. Would waitjob=true&waitprinter=false do what I want?

No, CUPS does not currently support this functionality if you are doing local queuing.
