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

OPTIONS¶

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]

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.

NOTES¶

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