Man page 1 : cancel

cancel - cancel jobs

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

cancel cancels existing print jobs. The -a option will remove all jobs from the specified destination.

The following options are recognized by cancel:

• -E
       
  Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
• -U username
       
  Specifies the username to use when connecting to the server.
• -a
       
  Cancel all jobs on the named destination, or all jobs on all destinations if none is provided.
• -h hostname[:port]
       
  Chooses an alternate server.
• -u username
       
  Cancels jobs owned by username.

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.

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