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.
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).
