In 11.04, you can open system settings from the power-button in the upper-right corner. You'll find printers under Hardware and it'll display a list of printers. Double click it to show the queue.

In 11.10, we have a Printers item in the power-menu as a shortcut. The dialog itself has not changed.

Search Unity for "Printing". You will find a list of your printers. If you double-click to open a selected printer, you can manage the print jobs including canceling jobs.

If you turn on "all" or the appropriate value in the whitelist (for the system tray), you can see the print queue as normal.
