#Linux Kill printer jobs.

- Find jobs and the targeted device: `lpstat -o`
- Kill all jobs: `cancel -a {printer}`
- Kill 1 job: `cancel {printerjobid}`
<br /><br />

[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.
