Right-click gives me the following options:
Disable Job Spooling
Set as User Default
Configure...
Test Printer...
Export Driver... (greyed out)
Printer IPP Report...
Show/Hide Printer Details
View
Orientation
View Toolbar
View Menu Toolbar
Toggle Printer Filtering
but unfortunately no Remove :(

I have already turned ImplicitClasses off in cupsd.conf but this is not much
help.
In the printers.conf file there is only one printer listed, which I want to
use and have done so in the last few months.
Upon restarting cupsd, http://localhost:631/printers lists this printer.
Running the KDE printing manager once, which lists two unwanted printers,
makes cupsd to add two printers (output from http://localhost:631/printers):
lp0
HP LaserJet 6L, Foomatic + ljet4 on server2.domain
Description: Created by redhat-config-printer 0.6.x
Location: Location Unknown
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs.
Device URI: smb://domain/server1/HPLJ 5P

Remote Printer on server2.domain
Description: Created by redhat-config-printer 0.6.x
Location: Location Unknown
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs.
Device URI: smb://domain/server1/HPLJ 5P
Note the Device URI is the same for all three printers, however the
description of the two unwanted printers says they are attached to some other
computer.
BTW: The only printer with a right-click menu option "Remove" in the KDE
printing manager is the printer configured with cups.
It is possible to remove those unwanted printers (lp0 and wieselburger) with
http://localhost:631/admin but trying to configure them, gives the error
message: server-error-service-unavailable
Ideas welcome,
outis
