I did lpq before sending the job to pick a printer... the other printer
in the room (bob) was broken, but plato was working & empty, so I
picked it. I also did lpq just after sending it, and mine was the only
job. "man lprm" says

If the - flag is specified, lprm will remove all jobs which a user owns.
If the super-user employs this flag, the spool queue will be emptied
entirely. The owner is determined by the user's login name and host name
on the machine where the lpr command was invoked.
