You can delete all your print data by specifying this option. If this option is issued by 
a superuser, all the print data received by the machine will be deleted.

This option is only valid in the spool mode.
NOTE: Print data which consist of multiple files sent in one print instruction cannot be 
deleted file by file. All the files will be deleted together.

NOTE: This command is invalid if no options are specified, or if there is no print data 
which matches the option.

NOTE: You can delete only print data from the same workstation used to send the 
print data. You cannot delete print data sent by other workstations.

NOTE: When a command to delete print data is received, the file will be deleted even 
if it is in the process of being printed. Any unprinted data will be cancelled after the file 
has been deleted.

Example
To delete the print data from printer fxPS for job number 351, enter the following 
command:

%lprm -PfxPS 351

The lpstat command is used to inquire about the status of the machine.
NOTE: In the non-spool mode, this function is available to Windows NT clients but not 
to HP-UX/Solaris clients.

lpstat [option]

The sequence of the options does not affect the outcome.
