I would rephrase it as "kdeprint asks CUPS server to delete a job, the
latter failing to do so". In other words, KDEPrint does all it has to
do: asking the server to delete a job. KDEPrint is not responsible for
the actual job management. Do you have the same problem if you try to
remove the job using "lprm"?
