Subject: [gentoo-user] Can't delete printer!
Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 20:33:16
Message-Id: 1145564505.13537.15.camel@scarlatti.leonora.org
1 I've tried everything I can think of.
2
3 * When I use foomatic-gui to delete the printer, I get a message
4 that confirms the deletion, but when I reboot it's back! In my
5 case, I think foomatic-gui invokes "foomatic-configure -s cups
6 -R -n <queuename>" which in turn invokes "lpadmnin -x
7 <queuename>".
8 * I've removed the printer queue from /etc/cups/printers.conf.
9 * When I browser http://localhost:631/printers, and I attempt to
10 delete the printer, I get an error message saying that the
11 printer's host can't be reached (it no longer exists), and the
12 deletion fails.
13 * I can't see where the printer queue name is maintained across
14 reboot.

16 Help! (Thanks!)
