My jobs stay in the queue after printing

My platform :
- Two Sun Sparc stations, the first is Print Server, the second is Print Client.
- They are linked via Ethernet.
- My HP LaserJet Printer is connected in parallel on bpp0 of the Print Server.
- System : Solaris 2.5.1

When I print from Print client, printing is good but my jobs stay in the queue
after printing. (lpc command says : "nn jobs in spool ..").
Can you tell me how to stop this problem ?

NOTE : when I use command "lpstat -t", the queue is cleared (0 job in spool).

I am affraid the answer is not correct ! I have the smae problem : lpstat says ok, although lpc status pr says "74 entries
in spool area" AND I effectively have 74 entry in /var/spool/lp/temp.
The jobs are not removed once printed, and it is not a bug
from lpc !!
I guess this comes from the lack of back communication between
print server and print client.
