Job stays in que even after printing

Hi:
I have a home network with a desktop pc that has a usb connected laser printer. Also, I have various laptops (windows, Ubuntu Linux, Zorin) that also connect wirelessly to this network and print to said printer. The problem I have with the Zorin laptop (not with the others) is that after a job is printed, it stays in the job que and not deleted. If I try to print another job, it is added to the que, but it won't print because of the first job. I have to manually delete the first job to make the second job print. But after it prints, the problem repeats itself. Any ideas to solve this problem will be really appreciated. Thanks.
