Trouble with KDEprint (cannot delete printer)


I have looked through the documentation for KDEprint, and I can't find a way to delete a printer! I really need to delete a networked printer because I switched it to another machine, but I can't figure out how.

P.S. I am running a CUPS print server on port 631

Thanks much,

Jeremy Davis Pedersen

To delete a printer under cups just use the following cmd

Code:
lpadmin -x printername
where printername is the name of the printer you're trying to delete

HTH
