Is hrf641 a remote printer?
I don't think root cancel remote files.
You may be able to configure this so it can.

See WARNINGS in cancel(1):
A remote print request can be canceled only from the system from which the the original lp command was issued, and if the restrict cancel
feature (see lpadmin(1M)) is enabled for the specified printer, a request belonging to this printer can be canceled only by administrator or the user who requested it.
