Uninstalling

Top  Previous  Next

To remove CirrusPrint from a machine, follow these instructions:

 

Unix

Run the uninstall.sh script, or:

 

Remove the /usr/bin/cp20s script.

Remove the install directory and subdirectories.

Remove any startup scripts or script lines that run cp20s at system boot time.

 

Warning: If you accidentally installed CirrusPrint into a directory with other software or data files, do not uninstall it this way, as you will lose that whole directory.  Instead, you must manually remove the CirrusPrint files that were installed, or restore the directory from a backup.  The list of files can be found by viewing a table of contents listing from the install tar file (tar tvf filename).

 

Windows

Use Control Panel, Programs and Features to remove the CirrusPrint 2.0 Server.  If it is installed as a service, the uninstall will attempt to stop and uninstall the service, but you can uninstall it as a service beforehand if desired.

 

In most cases, this will remove all installed files from the installation folder, and the server's Start, Programs menu folder.  However, if permission settings prevent this, or a CirrusPrint program is running or folder is open, this can be performed manually at later time.
