User Commands                                           cancel(1)



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). Speci-
     fying request-ID with destination cancels request-ID on des-
     tination.   Specifying  only  the  destination  cancels  the
     current print request on destination. If destination 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.

                     lpadmin(1M)).  If  destination is not speci-
                     fied, cancel  cancels  the  requested  print
                     request  on all destinations. Specify desti-
                     nation   using   atomic    or    POSIX-style
                     (server:destination),  names.  See NOTES for
                     information regarding using POSIX-style des-
                     tination names with cancel. See standards(5)

                     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

NOTES
     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 own-
     ers  when their print jobs have been cancelled. This notifi-
     cation usually comes in the form of an email message. Cance-
     lation notices cannot be disabled on a Solaris server.
