# Cancelling Print Jobs

> You can cancel a print job before it is printed.

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript Node.js SDK theme={null}
  import Intelliprint from 'intelliprint'

  const ip = new Intelliprint('your-api-key-here')

  const printJob = await ip.prints.delete('print-job-id')

  // If this print job was unconfirmed, `deleted` will be `true`.
  console.log(`Print job deleted: ${printJob.deleted}`)

  // If this print job was confirmed, as many `letters` as possible will have their status set to `cancelled`.

  // Check the status of each letter in the print job.
  for (const item of printJob?.letters ?? []) {
    console.log(`Letter ${item.id} is: ${item.status}`)
  }
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X DELETE https://api.intelliprint.net/v1/prints/print-job-id \
    -H 'Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY'
  # Check for the deleted value or the status of each letter in the print job.
