removing an LP queue

Managed Services — Fri, 06 Sep 2002 15:11:59 GMT

I have attempted to remove an LP printer via sam but I'm given the message 'Lp destination 'myprinter' does not exists on 'myserver'.
The interface file exists in /etc/lp/interface
Any ideas

Thanks

try this:

lpadmin -xPRINTERNAME

then check the following directories and remove any entries for the printer.

/etc/dt/appconfig/types/C/
/etc/lp/interface/model.orig/
/etc/lp/interface/
/etc/lp/member/
/var/spool/lp/request/
/var/sam/lp/member/
/var/sam/lp/interface/model.orig/
/var/sam/lp/interface/

does the queue show up in lpstat? If not, then it's effectively "removed"

thanks,

It may be the solution. If not try removing the printer manually (command line).

lpstat -t should show the prineter , if yes then do a lpadmin -x pritner name to remove it , after this u need to restart the scheduler
if not then there are remanents of the old ques like some files and irestories which ahve not been cleanly remved.

so to overcome this what u do is

lpadmin -p myprinetre -v/dev/null /-mdumb

this willr ecreaste the printer and then you can delte it again to clean up fully.
