Problem #1.  How do I delete redundant printers from HH 8.04?


Problem #2.  Trying to install a new HP P1005 Laser Jet without success.
I have tried to follow instructions from http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ to no
avail.  I would like some help please.

Go to http://127.0.0.1:631/ on the host and you'll get a full management
interface.

Try installing hplip-gui and see what it tells you about the printer. 
You may need to update to a newer version of CUPS to get full support
for it.  The first place to try for this would be hardy's backports. 
You can enable backports in your software sources, then run update
manager to check for updates, then install only the packages with cups
in their name.  Then turn off backports if you don't want lots  lots of
packages to update regularly.
