We have recently switched to setting up all of our printers using OD (Open Directory). I noticed that many machines had other printers showing up when you printed from an application. These ghost printers seem to be cups leftovers. I sent the following command using ARD as root to vanquish these printers to the land of wind and ghosts.
rm -drf /etc/cups/ppd
Awesome guys, I have been looking for this information all around, there are no online information or any website or articles written about this information. I got an email about this from my friend, it was very important for me. The information you people have given here is really very helpful and will absolutely help in resolving my problem. This has been one of the finest articles about this. I really appreciate your work. Hope you people here keep writing good stuff like this!
