I'm not sure this is a CDE issue; any user can cancel another user's print jobs by default on HP-UX. It's on purpose, since the user sitting next to the garbage-spewing printer may not be the user who submitted the job. The administrator can override this on a per-printer basis using the -orc option to lpadmin(1m).
