Remove bogus printer from CUPS

Some time ago I posted a solution at getting a Canon Pixma working. Unfortunately, mine died and I went through steps to fix before I found my own instructions (which have worked just fine). However, in my trying, I've managed to register a non-existent printer with CUPS, which I'd like to remove. Trying to remove it via the CUPS interface just leads me to a "Not Found" page. I tried to be clever and delete what I thought was the correct file (it wasn't, forcing a re-installion of cnijnet filters).

Anyhoo, now that I have the printer and scanner working again, what do I need to do to get rid of the ghost printer that doesn't, and never did exist?

EDIT: For info, what I should have done first I documented at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=194253

TIA

Re: Remove bogus printer from CUPS

You should look in '/etc/cups/'.
