To cancel / remove your print job when printing using NUS SOC printers, login to sunfire using SSH.

Assuming the printer name is pstsb-dx, enter the following in the command prompt to check your print job in printer pstsb-dx:

lpq -Ppstsb-dx

Next, take note of the job id for the print job you wish to cancel.

Then, enter the following

lprm -Ppstsb-dx 845

where 845 is the printjob id.

This 2 commands are particularly useful when SOC printers are jammed or the network is down. To prevent wastage of print quota, cancel away your print job.
