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 dae-
       mon  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  mes-
              sages.

       -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 can-
       cel.
