## cancel

    cancel [options] [printer]

Cancel print requests made with lp. The request can be specified by its ID, by the `printer` on which it is currently printing, or by the username associated with the request (only privileged users can cancel another user's print requests). Use lpstat to determine either the `id` or the `printer` to cancel.

### Options

`id`

  Cancel print request `id`.

-u `user`

  Cancel request associated with `user`.
