Removing Print Queue
« on: March 13, 2013, 03:56:08 PM »
I had a Brother laser printer plugged into my DNS-323. Well the printer died. I have a replacement printer which is wireless, so I no longer need a printer hanging off DNS. Now I can't figure out how to remove the print queue from the DNS. People keep adding this non-existent printer causing me grief.
Any suggestions?

I can't remember if there was anything else as I never used it, but I thnk I had to delete the .LPD directory. I may have had to remove a samba configuration option as well. Sorry, it was a  few years back.

Have you tried the 'clear print queue(s)' button in the 'STATUS' > 'PRINTER INFO:' section of the web interface configuration?

That just removes the contents of the spool folder, it won't remove the print queue.

RAID1 is for disk redundancy - NOT data backup - don't confuse the two.

Thanks for that bit of information which will be stored for future reference.  I've not had need to remove printers yet.
