I'm trying to delete some of the printers in "Configure Your Computer -- Hardware -- Set up the Printers . . ." but when I right-click on the printer icons the "Delete" option is greyed out.  How do I get rid of these unwanted printers?

Thanks.

Hi Tyro65,
hmm. can't duplicate that.
Did you try removing from the >printer pull down menu?
Maybe log out your user, login as root & try from there.
btw, welcome to the forum. See you around.  Grin

Have you tried doing it from CUPS? Open your web browser. Enter in the address bar: http://localhost:631. Click the Administration tab at top, then the Manage Printers button.

djohnston,
Question: I never really used cups directly but I looked at it following some forum posts. When you do printer related stuff with PCC, does PCC work as a frontend for cups--is cups the master of print related stuff? A learning point for me.  Smiley
