Thanks Jonathan,

nbpunrgsr lp:LaserWriter
        or
nbpunrgsr lp:LaserWriter@*

Returns:
Can't unregister lp:LaserWriter@

Obviosly this is part of my problem. I changed the name of the printer
in the papd.conf to misptr. Same results.

Apr 17 08:35:24 m_mcwhorter papd[29587]: restart (1.4b2+asun2.1.3)
Apr 17 08:35:32 m_mcwhorter papd[29587]: can't register
misptr:LaserWriter@*

[root@m_mcwhorter m_mcwhorter]# nbpunrgstr misptr:LaserWriter
Can't unregister misptr:LaserWriter@*

Thanks In Advance,
Martin
