I've recently made the leap from MATE 18.04 to MATE 24.04.2
In 18.04, when printing, there was an icon that popped up. I could click it and cancel a print job. Very useful.
In 24.04 no such applet. I have Indicator Applet Complete in my top panel. Ayatana Indicator Printers is installed.
Do you have it checked for start up?
System>Preferences>Personal>Startup Applications (Check Print Queue Applet)
I am not sure if hidden has to be marked or not. I would then log out and back in and see if it works when you print.
Thank you @jymm.
My route is Menu > Preferences > Startup applications
And yes, Print Queue Applet is already checked.
It doesn't seem like anyone has a solution for you. I am not sure this is what you want either, but it works. I was able to go to the Control Center, drag and drop the printer icon to the desktop and from there drag and drop it to the panel. Then you can delete it from the desktop.
It will always be on the panel like that because it is the icon not the applet, not just when printing but would give you quick access to cancel a print job.
Yes, strange this isn't a big topic. Thank you, @jymm, for persevering.
The problem I find with Menu > Administration > Printers is... what next?
There's a delete option, but it means delete printer!
There doesn't seem to be a 'delete print job' option.
Hi, @Alan 
You wrote (in reply to @jymm's great help):
I don't use printers in Ubuntu MATE but, apparently, from there, you can go to the "Printer" menu and select the last command / option ("View Print Queue") or press the keyboard shortcut combination Ctrl + F as I show in the following screenshot:
After you do that, the "Document Print Status (all jobs)" window should appear, as I show in the following screenshot:
I hope this helps
Find your printer icon in Control center.
Drag printer icon to panel. You can move it to where you want it on the panel.
3..Open printers local host >
Probably not ideal, but it works.
You beat me to it I was preparing mine at the same time!!!!
Many thanks @jymm and @ricmarques . How did I miss that? 
As you say, not ideal, but it does the job
(@ricmarques Would have given the solution tick to you both, if there was such an option. Had to give it to jymm as he'd helped so much before)
