If a printer is no longer part of your active setup, you may want to remove it from your Maker workspace. Keeping only current printers listed helps maintain an accurate profile and reduces confusion when managing requests.
Why you might remove a printer
You may want to remove a printer if:
-
You no longer use that machine
-
The printer is permanently unavailable
-
The entry was added by mistake
-
You are simplifying your Maker setup
-
You want your listed capabilities to reflect only active equipment
Before removing a printer
Before removing a printer, make sure:
-
The printer is not still needed for your current workflow
-
Its listed capabilities are no longer relevant
-
You do not need the entry for active or future work
If the printer is only temporarily unavailable, updating the details may be better than removing it entirely.
How to remove a printer
1. Open your Maker dashboard
Go to your Maker workspace.
2. Open the printers section
Find the list of printers connected to your account.
3. Select the printer you want to remove
Open the printer entry you no longer want to keep.
4. Confirm the removal
Use the available remove or delete icon and confirm the change if prompted.
When removal is the right choice
Removing a printer is usually the right option when the machine should no longer be treated as part of your available setup at all.
If the printer still exists but its specs changed, editing the entry is often the better option.
Tips before removing a printer

Review whether any current work depends on that printer

If the printer still appears after removal
If the printer does not disappear right away:

-
