Canceling print jobs

To cancel a print job, you must know its request-ID (a number that is assigned to each request by the print program). You also must be either root or the owner of the print request. The request-ID is displayed on the screen when you send a job to the printer. You can also look at the request-IDs for all current print jobs by double-clicking on the Printer icon or entering the lpstat command in a UNIX window.

Once you know the request number, you can cancel the print job by opening a UNIX window and, at the prompt, entering:

cancel request-ID
