NAME
       cancel - cancel jobs

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

DESCRIPTION
       The cancel command cancels print jobs.  If no destination or id is specified, the currently printing job on  the	 de‐
       fault destination is canceled.

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.  Note: This option must occur before all others.

       -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 operations in cupsd.conf(5).
