| * 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 javax.print.event.PrintJobEvent.JOB_CANCELLED 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. |

| * A successful cancellation means only that the entire job was not |
| * printed, some portion may already have printed when cancel returns. |
| * <p> |

| * Cancelling an already successfully cancelled Print Job is not |
| * considered an error and will always succeed. |
