How can I remove an HPLIP-installed printer from command line ?

Asked by Fabián Rodríguez

I have installed an HP printer via command line on a remote system, using hp-setup. Now I would like to document how to remove the same printer, using command-line only.

I can't seem to find the appropriate hp-* command to accomplish this, and hp-setup doesn't have options for this.

How can I remove an HPLIP-installed printer from command line ?

I am looking to document this for all Ubuntu supported versions as of 9.04, so I'll update this if I find the answer elsewhere.

You do can do this using lpadmin. Something like:

/usr/lib/lpadmin -x printer

Should do it.

Get you can get more information with:

man lpadmin

Thanks for your support for HPLIP--we appreciate it.
