cancel - Cancel print queue requests (stub command)

Format

cancel [print_(D ...] printer ...
cancel print_(D ... [printer ...]

The cancel utility is fully supported for compatibility with earlier UNIX systems. However, because it is no longer supported by POSIX.2 IEEE standard 1003.2-1992, this utility should be avoided for applications that are intended to be portable to other UNIX-branded systems.

Description

cancel cancels print queue requests. print_ID specifies the particular job (or jobs) to be canceled; the print_ID number is reported by lp when the job is submitted, or by lpstat.

cancel is recognized, but its functions are not supported.

If you are using the z/OS Infoprint Server feature, your system automatically uses that version of the cancel command.
