Name

lprm [options] [job_IDs] — cups

Synopsis

/usr/bin stdin stdout - file -- opt --help --version

The lprm (line printer remove) command cancels one or more print jobs. Use lpq to learn the ID of the desired print jobs (say, 61 and 78), then type:

$ lprm -P printername 61 78

If you don’t supply any job IDs, your current print job is canceled. (Only the superuser can cancel other users’ jobs.) The -P option specifies which print queue contains the job.
