cancel - cancel jobs
cancel [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -a ] [ -u username ] [ -x ] [ id ] [ destination ] [ destination-id ]
The cancel command cancels print jobs. If no destination or id is specified, the currently printing job on the default destination is canceled.
The following options are recognized by cancel:
-a
Cancel all jobs on the named destination, or all jobs on all destinations if none is provided.
-E
Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
-h hostname[:port]
Specifies an alternate server.
Note: This option must occur before all others.
-U username
Specifies the username to use when connecting to the server.
-u username
Cancels jobs owned by username.
-x
Deletes job data files in addition to canceling.
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#". Also, printer and class names are not case-sensitive.
Cancel the current print job:
cancel
Cancel job "myprinter-42":
cancel myprinter-42
Cancel all jobs:
cancel -a
The -a and -u username options require administrative access. These restrictions are part of the operation policies defined in the cupsd.conf(5) file for the "Cancel-Jobs" and "Cancel-My-Jobs" operations, respectively.
