cancel - cancel jobs

cancel [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -a ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -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.

*-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

Administrators wishing to prevent unauthorized cancellation of jobs via the -u option should require authentication for Cancel-Jobs operations in *cupsd.conf*(5).
