#Linux Kill printer jobs.

By @oneshot3/28/2021linux
  • Find jobs and the targeted device: lpstat -o
  • Kill all jobs: cancel -a {printer}
  • Kill 1 job: cancel {printerjobid}



[ALTERNATIVE]
First obtain the pending job number with the lpq -a command:

Rank Owner Job File(s)
active user 137 Untitled1

Now you are ready to kill the process by simply giving the $ lprm 137 command.
