cups can not delete all waiting jobs at once?

[Launchpad]

If there are more jobs waiting and you want to delete them all at once, I can not click control-a or just select more at a time to delete them. Now i have to delete them one by one and that's frustrating because i had accidentally more then 50 jobs waiting.

I'm sorry if this is not a bug, but wouldn't it be nicer if you can select more jobs at a time?

Also the delete button on my keyboard does not work to directy remove a print job

The job viewer in GNOME is part of system-config-printer, reassigning ...

This is a good idea for improving the job viewer. It should allow to mark any selection of jobs with <Shift>/<Ctrl> + mouse button and <Shift> + <Cursor keys> and also all jobs with <Ctrl> + <A>. After that it should remove all marked jobs with <Del> and remove or move all marked jobs to another printer via the right-click menu.

Tim, WDYT?

In the mean time one can remove all jobs on the command line with "cancel -a".

Till,

I think that's a very good idea, but who's going to accept and implement it?
Would be nice for everyone i guess..
