How to cancel work being printed

To cancel a print job within Premvet

Press the Function Key F9

Default is 'Dispensary Doc Printer'  Swap Copies Reload Kill Quit

Select the printer the job is being printed on

Cancel job(s) on which printer ?  Default Label Pos Quit

If you want to cancel a specific job you have to determine the job number. The command (from an O.S. prompt) is

	lpstat -o

This will give a list of all jobs waiting to print, identify (where possible) the job number on the left of the screen and then type:

	cancel <Job ID>

e.g. cancel laser-1234 to cancel job number 1234 which would be queued for the printer 'laser'.

To finish, here is a one line command that will cancel ALL jobs on ALL printers. I won't explain the command but it does work (if typed correctly!)

lpstat -o | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs cancel

Digesting the above should allow you to cancel any and all print jobs.
