NAME

6       cancel - cancel jobs
7

SYNOPSIS

9       cancel  [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -a ] [ -u user‐
10       name ] [ -x ] [ id ] [ destination ] [ destination-id ]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The cancel command cancels print jobs.  If  no  destination  or  id  is
14       specified,  the  currently  printing  job on the default destination is
15       canceled.
16

OPTIONS

18       The following options are recognized by cancel:
19
20       -a   Cancel all jobs on the named destination, or all jobs on all  des‐
21            tinations if none is provided.
22
23       -E   Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
24
25       -h hostname[:port]
26            Specifies  an  alternate server.  Note: This option must occur be‐
27            fore all others.
28
29       -U username
30            Specifies the username to use when connecting to the server.
31
32       -u username
33            Cancels jobs owned by username.
34
35       -x   Deletes job data files in addition to canceling.
36

CONFORMING TO

38       Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to  con‐
39       tain  any  printable  character  except  SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#". Also,
40       printer and class names are not case-sensitive.
41

EXAMPLES

43       Cancel the current print job:
44
45           cancel
46
47       Cancel job "myprinter-42":
48
49           cancel myprinter-42
50
51       Cancel all jobs:
52
53           cancel -a
54

NOTES

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