Trying to get rid of unwanted files

Hi,
I'm one of many suffering from OS 10.3.3's print server bloat problem
(the /var/spool/cups/tmp directory files with 1000's of files and the
print service chokes and fails).
I've written a cron task to clean out the /tmp folder but I'm trying
to find a suitable Unix command to clean out the /cups folder,
leaving the /tmp folder behind.
I want to end up with two tasks, one that cleans /tmp (deletes the
contents) and one that removes everything from /cups except the /tmp
directory.
Can anyone point this GUI user in the right direction (please keep it simple)?
