| * This interface is used by a printing application to cancel a print job. This |
| * interface extends {@link DocPrintJob}. A {@code DocPrintJob} implementation |
| * returned from a print service implements this interface if the print job can |
| * be cancelled. Before trying to cancel a print job, the client needs to test |
| * if the {@code DocPrintJob} object returned from the print service actually |
| * implements this interface. Clients should never assume that a |
| * {@code DocPrintJob} implements this interface. A print service might support |
| * cancellation only for certain types of print data and representation class |
| * names. This means that only some of the {@code DocPrintJob} objects returned |
| * from a service will implement this interface. |
| * <p> |
| * Service implementors are encouraged to implement this optional interface and |
| * to deliver a {@link javax.print.event.PrintJobEvent#JOB_CANCELED} event to |
| * any listeners if a job is successfully cancelled with an implementation of |
| * this interface. Services should also note that an implementation of this |
| * method may be made from a separate client thread than that which made the |
| * print request. Thus the implementation of this interface must be made thread |
| * safe. |

| * cancellation means only that the entire job was not printed, some portion |
| * may already have printed when cancel returns. |
| * <p> |
| * The service will throw a {@code PrintException} if the cancellation did |
| * not succeed. A job which has not yet been submitted for printing should |
| * throw this exception. Cancelling an already successfully cancelled Print |
| * Job is not considered an error and will always succeed. |
