Please Help!!!!!!

I just installed a new network printer - myprinter1. I can't seem to get it running. Every time I try to print a test page, I get the following error.


Subject: Problem with printer myprinter1
The printer myprinter1 has stopped printing for the reason given below.
Fix the problem and bring the printer back on line.
Printing has stopped, but will be restarted in a few minutes;
issue an enable command if you want to restart sooner.
Unless someone issues a change request

lp -i myprinter1-19 -P ...

to change the page list to print, the current request will be reprinted from
the beginning.

The reason(s) it stopped (multiple reasons indicate repeated attempts):

exec exit fault<EOT>


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I first installed myprinter1, then my printer2, I took out myprinter2, but I'm still getting error re: myprinter2 & myprinter1 is not running as well ...I get the above error message.
How do I get myprinter1 to start working &
How do I get myprinter2 cleanout of the system
I removed it from printers.conf file, I disable it but i still get error message re: myprinters.

Thanks,
Remi

if its a system printer, whether pkg installed or not using the pkginfo

pkginfo | grep cups

try using the lpstat command to check whether printer installed

if its a network printer use lpadmin command

lpadmin -p <printername> -s <IP of system>
lpstat -a
test print any file


u directly dont remove in /etc/printers.conf file
use the lpadmin command to add/remove printer
