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).
