NAME
cancel - cancel jobs

SYNOPSIS
cancel [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -a ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -u username ] [ id ] [ destination ] [ destination-id ]

DESCRIPTION
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]
    Chooses an alternate server.

-u username
    Cancels jobs owned by username.

COMPATIBILITY
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).
