If you have desktop printing it's easy; just drag the unwanted printer icons
on your desktop to the trash. Without desktop printing the only way I have
figured out how to get rid of unwanted printers is to replace your printer's
chooser extension (i.e. Laserwriter 8) with a new one downloadable from the
net.
