Default printer que won't clear

Hello,
Is there a way to manually force the printer que to clear? I tried clicking
on the printer icon in the system tray and selecting the job, then clicking
cancel. After doing this 4 times in 10 minutes I finally rebooted the PC.
This worked, but I would rather not have to do that again. It is a brand new
cannon pixma printer. Thanks.
