Tried that along with lpc and lprm.
Nothing stopped the printer printing garbage
until I deleted the files from  /var/spool/lpd/aps1
I thought there was a command to manipulate the
files in the print queue, but none of the commands
above worked that way for me.

I printed an older pdf file no problem, so the current print
problem seems to be in bk2.pdf which was generated
by the 'print to pdf file' command in gnumeric.
To reiterate, the entire gnumeric print dialog is buggy,
buggy, buggy. The rest of gnumeric is working well for me.
Unfortunately, I use a lot of hardcopy records every day on
my delivery route so the print problems are a serious impediment.
