When I'm installing my LQ-300+ Printer, I gave the

LQ-300+
as the name.
Now I can't delete it or change it.
Because when when I tried to change it shows its name as

LQ-300
& after changing create a new printer with the name
Quote:
LQ-300
.
I think this happed because of the
Quote:

sign.
So how can I delete it?

Does lpadmin -x 'LQ-300+' work? If not I'd stop CUPS (/etc/init.d/cupsd stop) and hack /etc/cups/printers.conf by hand and remove the offending printer.

If you are really desperate you can unmerge cups and remerge cups. After that, remerge your drivers and stuff. But only if you can't modify your cups.conf file.
