Managing print queues

Hello, all you happy people.
I'm sure I'm missing something here -- how are you supposed to manage
print queues in FC6 without dropping to a terminal?
For example, suppose you've sent something to print, realise the
printer's out of paper, and decide you'll do without the print -- how do
you cancel the job?
In a terminal, it's easy -- lpq shows you the outstanding jobs, and lprm
deletes them. Assuming it's *your* job, you don't even need to be root.
But there doesn't seem to be an obvious GUI to handle that, apart from
http://localhost:631 (the CUPS web interface).
For what it's worth, the main desktop is Gnome, but I'd be interested in
any GUI.
Thanks,
James.
