I can't delete a printer

I'm new to XP however in the past I just right mouse
clicked the printer and deleted! When I try this in
Windows XP as well as highlighting (delete printer) in the
task bar the printer remains, when it is highlighted the
little window says (status deleting, documents: 1) Help
it's driving me nuts. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You, Clay

I've had a user come to me with an issue trying to delete
printers. I also am new to XP and would like an anser to
this question. How do you delete a printer? Why, beause he
no longer needs the printer ans wants to clean up his
system.
Thanks,
Val

Clay ... the following is 'lifted' from our newsgroup printer maven, Cori
Bright ... at www.coribright.com and credit is due to her.

1. Disconnect the printer from the PC

2. Go to the Control Panel and click on Add/Remove Programs. Highlight any
Printer Software that is listed here. Select Remove.

3. From the Control Panel, click on Printers & Faxes. Right click the
printer in question and select Delete

4. Look at the Toolbar. Select File, then Server Properties. Look in the
Drivers tab. Highlight the printers drivers listed here and click on Remove
for each one.

5. Reboot the PC. Do NOT reconnect the printer!
