cancel: not owner in jetdirect printers

[Demerson Zounar_1]

Hullo All...
Anybody knows how can a user cancel request in a JD printer? I can see no options in HPPI for that...

# cancel

If you are not the owner (or root), this will fail.

To cancel another users as a non root user, install sudo and use it to allow the non root user to run cancel.


Sudo is at: http://www.courtesan.com

Hi

As stated cancel job or if you are root you can cancel all jobs in a queue with

cancel -e

One other item of note: When you set up the printer you have the option of allowing anyone to cancel a request or only the owner/root.

In lpadmin, the option is -orc which restricts users to canceling only their own requests. The default is to not restrict the cancel command.

If using SAM, there is a checkmark option for this as well. YOu may want to remove the printer and re-add to allow this.
