Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

To Delete a Printer from the Desktop

  1. Remove the printer from your system's configuration.

    Follow the instructions in the system administration documentation for your operating system.

  2. Restart Print Manager or double-click Reload Actions from the Desktop_Tools application group in Application Manager. Verify that the printer is gone.

  3. Send mail to your users to let them know they should also restart Print Manager or run Reload Actions.

    Each time it is invoked, Print Manager reads the system printers configuration list. If it sees that a printer has been removed from the list, it automatically removes that printer's action and icon from Print Manager and File Manager. You don't need to do anything else to delete the printer from the desktop.


    Note –

    Print Manager cannot remove printers from the Front Panel. Therefore, whenever you remove a printer from your configuration, you should send mail to all users on the system telling them to remove any icons of the deleted printer from the Front Panel.
