Public bug reported:

Attempted to cancel all print jobs on the system using cancel -a.

Expected: all print jobs are removed.

What happened:
No print jobs were removed from the system.

Workaround:
I was only able to get the print jobs removed by specifying cancel -a <destination>

The man page documentation states that cancel -a without a destination
will remove all print jobs on the system but this is not the case.

Tested on Ubuntu Trusty 14.04
Destination name: lp
Setup to a printer that does not actually exist.
