NAME

       cancel - cancel jobs

SYNOPSIS

       cancel [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -a ] [ -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.  Note: This option must occur before all others.

       -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).
