Using SystemSettings, I installed my new printer and removed the old one there. New printer working fine!
But now I have two printer symbols in the system section of control panel:
The left one is the new printer, the one at the at the right corner is senseless.
It is not listed in Settings for system section of control panel > Entries. Desktop-Environment is KDE.
How can I remove this?
Which Desktop Environment?
Try right click and see the options you get.
Try the configuration of the panel or the system tray - the objects in it.
Remove the one you don’t want.
In KDE Plasma I don’t know off the top of my head how to do this.
You have logged out and back in?
Perhaps one symbol is just a remnant that will disappear with a fresh session?
Or restart the cups (printing) service ? …
Thank you!
Yes and I I extended my first posting.
I only have KDE in a VM - without a printer.
I cannot check or test - or help because of it.
I did, too.
The one on the right looks like it is not in the system tray (which is to the left of your network speed indicator widget). It is more likely either a pinned icon or a Plasma widget.
If it is a pinned icon, you should be able to unpin it by right-clicking on it & selecting “Unpin from Task Manager”:
Note: I don’t use a printer, so I right-clicked on my pinned Software Manager icon
If it is a Plasma widget, right-click on the icon, select “Show Panel Configuration” to bring up the panel editing options. Then hover your cursor over the icon, and you should be shown the option to remove it:

Thank you so much @scotty65. In my case it was the second option. Your description is more than perfect and I solved it!
Thanks again!
