NAME

       cancel - cancel print request

SYNOPSIS

       cancel [request-ID...] [destination]...

       cancel -u user... [destination]...

DESCRIPTION

       The cancel utility cancels print requests. There are two forms of the cancel command.

       The first form of cancel has two optional arguments: print requests (request-ID) and destinations (destination). Specifying request-ID with
       destination cancels request-ID on destination. Specifying only the destination cancels the current print request on destination. If  desti-
       nation is not specified, cancel cancels the requested print request on all destinations.

       The second form of cancel cancels a user's print requests on specific destinations.

       Users  can  only  cancel  print	requests associated with their username. By default, users can only cancel print requests on the host from
       which the print request was submitted. If a super-user has set user-equivalence=true in /etc/printers.conf on the print server,	users  can
       cancel  print  requests	associated with their username on any host. Super-users can cancel print requests on the host from which the print
       request was submitted. Superusers can also cancel print requests from the print server.

       The print client commands locate destination information using the printers database in the  name  service  switch.  See  nsswitch.conf(4),
       printers(4), and printers.conf(4) for details.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -u user	  The name of the user for which print requests are to be cancelled. Specify user as a username.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       destination    The  destination	on  which the print requests are to be canceled. destination is the name of a printer or class of printers
		      (see lpadmin(1M)). If destination is not specified, cancel cancels the requested print request on all destinations.  Specify
		      destination  using atomic, URI-style (scheme://endpoint), or POSIX-style (server:destination), names. See Notes for informa-
		      tion regarding using URI-style or POSIX-style destination names with cancel. See printers.conf(4) for more information.

       request-ID     The print request to be canceled. Specify request-ID using LP-style request IDs (destination-number).

       user	      The name of the user for which the print requests are to be cancelled. Specify user as a username.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

NOTES

       URI-style and POSIX-style destination names (server:destination) are treated as print requests if destination has the same format as an LP-
       style request-ID. See standards(5).

       Some  print  servers send cancelation notification to job owners when their print jobs have been cancelled. This notification usually comes
       in the form of an email message. Cancelation notices cannot be disabled on a Solaris server.

       When IPP is in use, the user is prompted for a passphsrase if the remote print service is configured to require authentication.
