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).
