try this:
1) Please ask politely. 2) Go to KDE control center -> system -> printing manager and you should be able to add/delete/modify printers to your heart's content. All without logging in as root. The only time I needed to do anything as root was to access the test print page. In that case, I was presented with a nice dialog. I could probably get rid of that if I set myself up as a CUPS administrator on my machine. I'm using the tekstar 3.01 RPMs. David -----Original Message----- From: Praedor Tempus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 7:27 AM To: Mandrake Expert Subject: [expert] Deleting printers Running Mandrake 8.2 with KDE 3.0.1... OK, this should be simple but I am finding it is not as simple as it should be (SHAME on you KDE developers in particular). I want to delete a host of defunct printers (CUPS). I have tried running kups and printerdrake and DrakConf. In no case am I given an option to delete a printer. In kups, if I try to run it as superuser, it dies with an inability to connect to the DCOP server or some crap, and I REFUSE to logout and login as root to do this - this should flat-out not be required EVER. In kups, the button that would otherwise permit the deletion of printers is greyed out when I run it as user, which is apparently my only option. If I run printerdrake, there is no option to delete printers, only add printers, modify the printing system, etc (this appears to be an oversight by Mandrake developers - that one might actually want/need to delete a printer as well as add one). How does one go about deleting printers? praedor
