Mike Thank you for the response.

1.	I had tried it under Superuser. Several times.
2.	Then I tried under the user account. (Office and Lawyer)
3.	ultimately I gave up and issued lprm - under superuser and it
deleted the job on the top. And I issued it again and it deleted the 2nd
job that I wanted to delete.
4.	I had also restarted lpd service several times in an effort to
delete it.
Thanks
Israr Malik

My apologies for the late reply. I just got back from vacation, but I
did not
see any responses to your posting.  So, I have a suggestion.  lprm will
only
delete jobs which the account you are under has authority to delete.
Have you
tried running lprm from an account with superuser authority such as
root?
