Printer error prompt on every boot up of Mint 17.3

Post by eiger3970 »

Hello, Mint 17.3 always pops up a printer error for some dodgy printer I used a while ago. I run xkill to stop it, but I need to stop the error pop up for every boot up.

Hello, eiger3970.

Please, post the exact error message which is displayed. It might mention the exact name of the dodgy printer. Having this name in turn might make it possible to identify which software gets loaded, but should not.
In brief words, more exact details may make it easier to identify the cause of the popup message and to elimniate that cause.

Cheers,
Karl

Printer error
Printer 'Lexmark-International-Lexmark-CX310dnCMD:PS,PCL,JPEG':'The paper tray needs to be filled.'.

So this is the error on the Desktop prompt, which I can exit out of.
However there is also a printer icon in the Panel, which I need xkill to close.
