usr/bin/lpr: Too many active jobs

I try to print with a receipt printer. It all worked fine but I was sending prints to quick to the device.

Now I get the error:

usr/bin/lpr: Too many active jobs

I would like to clear all active jobs. I tried rebooting and turning the device on and off, but it does not help.

The complete error is:

RuntimeException: javax.print.PrintException: java.io.IOException: error=1 running: '/usr/bin/lpr' '-PEPSON_TM_T88V' '-J Java Printing' '-o media=Letter' '/var/folders/fb/fnzlgb7d2p7_h4gspnvdldzr0000gn/T/javaprint159865029725996489' /usr/bin/lpr: Too many active jobs.

Is there any way to clear the current jobs?
