Why can I cancel the print job I just submitted through lpr?
A18. You can only cancel print jobs from the node of the cluster on which you submitted the print job. If, for example, you submit a print job on node6.unix, you will be unable to cancel that job on the other cluster nodes. You can, however, determine which node you used from the output of the lprm command, whether or not the command succeeded in removing the job from the print queue. For example, if you submitted a print job from node10 and then ran the lprm command, you would get output similar to: print.itc.Virginia.EDU: dfA002node10.unix.Virginia.EDU ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ As you can see, the original sending host is kept so you can connect that specific node and then run the lprm command successfully to remove the print job.
