[cups.general] New Printer that I did not installed

[Till Kamppeter]

Are you sure that the printer in question is defined in your 
/etc/cups/printers.conf? If not, the printer is set up on another 
machine in your network and automatically shared to all machines running 
CUPS in your network.

Can you post your /etc/cups/printers.conf?

Automatic print queue generation in Mandrakelinux 10.0 and earlier is 
only done when starting printerdrake, but I do not remember whether I 
introduced that already in Mandrakelinux 9.1 or only later.

In 10.1 I introduced a feature that when one connects a USB printer for 
which there is no queue, a queue is generated as far as all needed 
packages (CUPS, GhostScript, drivers, ...) are already installed.

Besides, I am supposed to be the only one who has the root password and I didn't use lppasswd and I didn't modify cupsd.conf:
