4.5 Deleting print jobs
You can delete a print job that is in the print queue or is being printed.
● To delete a print job, use the xpdel command:
xpdel selection
For selection you can either specify a list of job identifiers or, with the
option -scl “selection_criteria_list”, define a list of criteria according
to which the jobs to be deleted are to be selected. Every entry in this
list consists of an option of the xpadd -job command with a value
assigned to it. For more information, see the section “Selection
criteria list” on page 266 of the Appendix.
Examples
– To delete the print jobs 1, 3, 7, and 9 (local ID):
xpdel [-job] 1 3 7 9
– To delete the print jobs si_mfs1:2 and si_mfs1:4 (global ID):
xpdel [-job] si_mfs:2 si_mfs:4
– To delete all print jobs with the attributes destination printer3 and form
