How to get rid of a phantom print queue?
by rnturn from LinuxQuestions.org on (#598NQ)
Certain applications show a phantom print queue in their "Print" dialog that I can't seem to get rid of. Firefox and several other applications show a printer queue called "print" that is always in a state of "Rejecting jobs". When I click on it, its status changes to "Getting printer information..." for several minutes before... nothing happens.
My suspicion is that this is something setup in Gnome but I can't find what file might contain that print queue definition. Firefox's "about:config" shows nothing about it. Neither does KDE's desktop config, CUPS, YaST, etc.
If I log into another user and fire up Firefox, it too has the same phantom print queue. From this I conclude it's not some ancient config file lurking in my home directory tree but that it's system-wide.
A brute force search for "print", as you can imagine, returns a gazillion hits.
Any ideas where to narrow the search for a config file that might be the culprit.
As always, TIA...
