How to clean/remove/uninstall from printer model/driver list
The drivers are listed when the spooler enumerates the previously installed
inf is \windows\inf In this directory you will find many OEM##.inf files. Locate the ones you do not want listed and change the .inf extension so they are no longer visible to the applications parsing for inf files. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
