Help...

I was printing (on an ink jet printer) about a dozen or so topics from 
my Linux (Mandrake 8.1) man pages.  When the last topic had spent about 
15 minutes printing I took a look at the file it was printing:  400+k 
bytes.  That would have taken hours and would have eaten several print 
cartridges.  I shut off the printer.

Can anybody tell me how I can remove this print task (which should 
hopefully remove the spool file from disk)?
