destination is canceled.
The following options are recognized by
cancel:
- -a
- Cancel all jobs on the named destination, or all jobs on all
destinations if none is provided.
- -E
- Forces encryption when connecting to
the server.
- -h hostname[:port]

the username to use when connecting to the server.

any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#". Also, printer and
class names are not case-sensitive.
