There is no folder lp under spool, but has one lpd. but there is nothing there. either that I cannot find any log in spool.

Red Hat 5.0

lpd has been replaced with cups in rhel 5. U could stop cups which will do same lpshut.

#service cups status

following can be used to get queue info.
#lpc status
#lpc status qname


Also you cold confgure cups GUI to manage queue including add/delete

Thank you for helping.
But when i use
#service cups status
#lpc status
#lpc status qname

all of them showed command not found.

I could open that default file, but i cannot find the printer I want to delete there.

verify if the CUPS pacakge is installed and the service is started

Thanks a lot.
