cancel

cancel(1)							    Apple Inc.								 cancel(1)

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 can-
       celed.

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 opera-
       tions in cupsd.conf(5).
