cancel(1)

NAME
cancel - cancel jobs

SYNOPSIS
cancel [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -a ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -u username ] [ -x ] [ id ] [ destination ] [ destination-id ]

DESCRIPTION
The cancel command cancels print jobs. If no destination or id is specified, the currently printing job on the default destination is canceled.

OPTIONS
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.

CONFORMING TO
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.

EXAMPLES
Cancel the current print job:
    cancel
Cancel job "myprinter-42":
    cancel myprinter-42
Cancel all jobs:
    cancel -a

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