As far as we are aware this command on Wheezy works. There have been no reports saying otherwise. To test, set up a print queue with lpadmin -p test -v ipp://192.168.7.19 -E and print to it with lp -d <file> The printer doesn't exist, so the command lpstat as a user should show the job as being queued. cancel -a as root should remove the job from the queue. This is shown by lpstat ls -l /var/spool/cups and, with debug logging set, the error log. Regards, Brian.
