How to Cancel Printing?

I checked through the forum but could not find the answer to this question. How do I cancel a print job? I figured out that I could view the "active print jobs" through the system settings panel but see no way to cancel a pending job. I tried right-clicking but nothing happens with that.

Thanks for any advice.

Open terminal and try:

Code:

cancel -a

or

Code:

sudo killall lpr

Just for your info, I think if in terminal you write

Code:

lpstat

you will see the list of your printing jobs in cue.

Thank you, madvinegar! I will give this a whirl.

Hi,

if you have an HP printer, you can install the package "hplip-gui" which gives you an easy way of controlling the printer output.

sudo apt-get install hplip-gui

You will find it listed as "HPLip Toolbox".
