48 I normally do install printers using hp-setup. But I uses cups (web
49 interface) to first delete all the queues and also find the cups web
50 interface useful for printing.
51
52 What is the hp- command to "start over", e.g. remove all existing
53 queues?
54
55 I feel there must be something very wrong here.

57 thanks,
