Hi,

If you want to remove a printer, you can do the following:

# lpshut
# lpadmin -x IBM_6100
# lpsched

Also, check to see any hung jobs,
# ps -f -u lp

Hi Kogoe ,

You can try this,

check if the printer exists:

# lpstat -t | grep IBM_6100

# /usr/sbin/lpshut
# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -x IBM_6100
# /usr/sbin/lpsched

Also check :

cd /etc/lp/interface/model.orig
and /etc/lp/interface/IBM_6100 if is there,

Hope this may help you,
Cheers,

Raj.
