Probably because you don't have administration rights to remove the
printer. Moreover if it's a remote printer (printer queue on a remote
computer), then you can't remove it remotely, you have to do it on
the remote computer.

You can define your own (personal) printer in the "Instances" tab of
the KDE print manager, or from the print dialog in any KDE app
(from the printer properties dialog).

Now, if you're only using a small subset of printers in your
department, you can make KDEPrint to only shows you the printers
you want. From the print dialog, click "System options", go to
the "Filter" section and select the printers you want to see.
Then back in the print dialog, enable printer filtering
(button on the right of the printer selection combo).
