What shows up in lpd.log when you try to cancel a request from
outside the cluster.  Also what shows up when you submit a request
from within the cluster and outside the cluster.

What version of HP-UX are you running and on what HP9000 series
model?  What is the result of "what /usr/lib/rlpdaemon"?

NOTE:  The request must be cancelled from the same system that
submitted the request and by the same user on that system.
