NAME
lpd_cancel - remove an entry from a remote lpd print spooler
SYNOPSIS
lpd_cancel [-v] -j id_num queue@host | host [queue]
DESCRIPTION
lpd_cancel removes an entry from the BSD line printer daemon at host. The job is removed to queue, or lp if not specified. The job id to cancel is id_num, or 1 if not specified.
To be compliant with RFC-1179, this program must run SUID root, so that a privileged outbound port may be used. However, many lpd servers found on networked printers do not enforce this requirement.
OPTIONS
- -j job_id
-
Set the job id to be job_id. This should be a three digit number from 001 to 999. Default is 001.
- -v
-
Print warnings and fatal errors.
- -vv
-
Print warnings, fatal errors, and informative messages.
- -vvv
-
Print everything (debug level).
BUGS
When one does not have permission to cancel the requested job, no error message is displayed. Actually lpd_cancel does not work at all; don't print jobs you intend to cancel.
