rcancel(1M) rcancel(1M)

NAME

rcancel - remove requests from a remote line printer spooling queue

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/rcancel

[id ...] [printer][

-a][-e][-u user]

DESCRIPTION

The

rcancel command removes a request, or requests, from the spool queue of a remote printer.

rcan-

cel

is invoked by the cancel command (see cancel(1)).

At least one id or the name of a printer must be speciﬁed.

This command is intended to be used only by the spool system in response to the

cancel command (see

lp(1)), and should not be invoked directly.

Options

The

rcancel command recognizes the following options:

id Specifying a request ID (as returned by

lp (see lp(1)) cancels the associated request (if

the request is owned by the user), even if it is currently printing.

printer Name of the printer (for a complete list, use

lpstat (see lpstat(1)). Specifying a printer

cancels the request which is currently printing on that printer, if the request is owned by

the user. If the

-a, -e, or the -u option is speciﬁed, this option only speciﬁes the

printer on which to perform the cancel operation.

-a Remove all requests owned by the user on the speciﬁed printer (see printer). The owner

is determined by the user’s login name and host name on the machine where the

lp com-

mand was invoked.

-e Empty the spool queue of all requests for the speciﬁed printer. This form of invoking

rcancel is useful only to users with appropriate privileges.

-u user Remove any requests queued belonging to that user (or users). This form of invoking

rcancel is available only to users with appropriate privileges.

AUTHOR

rcancel was developed by the University of California, Berkeley, and HP.
