printer help needed

[R Kimber]

After a failed file-printing in which a something seemed to get confused
between postscript and whatever format normally gets sent to my
Deskjet printer (pcl?) I deleted the printer queue, I turned off my
printer, I restarted cupsys, yet when turn on my printer again it
insists on endlessly ejecting pages with small amount of gobbledegook
printed in them.

The Windows solution would be to log out, and/or reboot the machine.

What is the Ubuntu linux solution?

Presumably there is a buffer somewhere that is feeding the printer in
this unwanted manner?  How do I clear it?
