I had the same problem recently & was only able to rid myself of 2 different printer backends by completely removing every vestige of any cups cache files. I suspect that this is a bug at lest with kde and maybe with the debian installer. I figure that the trick is in /var/log/cups and /var/run/cups and /etc/cups being completely removed and using dpkg to force a reinstall of the cups system from a downloaded .deb file. If you try to remove cups the dependencies will totally screw up your system. I was able to get rid of my old printer back ends using this process. However I have been unable to get my new Samsung ML-2250 to actually print correctly. If you have any tips there please advise. -- John Foster
