Unable to delete printer

[Brian S.]

I have been doing work for a client and encountered a new
(to me) problem. He had problems printing so I decided
to delete all existing printers and re-install only what
he needed. One of the printers will not delete. It's
little status description says that it is being removed
but it never goes away.

Does anyone have any input on how to force the removal of
this printer? I have been unable to find anything in the
KB on this subject.

Thanks,
Brian
