  29  * This interface is used by a printing application to cancel a
  30  * print job.  This interface extends {@link DocPrintJob}.  A
  31  * {@code DocPrintJob} implementation returned from a print
  32  * service implements this interface if the print job can be
  33  * cancelled.  Before trying to cancel
  34  * a print job, the client needs to test if the
  35  * {@code DocPrintJob} object returned from the print service
  36  * actually implements this interface.  Clients should never assume
  37  * that a {@code DocPrintJob} implements this interface.  A
  38  * print service might support cancellation only for certain types
  39  * of print data and representation class names.  This means that
  40  * only some of the {@code DocPrintJob} objects returned from
  41  * a service will implement this interface.
  42  * <p>
  43  * Service implementors are encouraged to implement this optional interface
  44  * and to deliver a javax.print.event.PrintJobEvent.JOB_CANCELLED event
  45  * to any listeners if a job is successfully cancelled with an
  46  * implementation of this interface. Services should also note that an
  47  * implementation of this method may be made from a separate client thread
  48  * than that which made the print request.  Thus the implementation of
  49  * this interface must be made thread safe.
