Default Network printer won't delete


-----Original Message-----
I setup a network printer in XP Pro, logged in as a
PowerUser. I went through Network Places, selected the

PC
to which the printer was attached, logged on as Guest
with the Guest password which I had setup, right clicked
on the printer and selected "Connect", and voila! I
printed a test page and everything! Well, there were

some
problems with the printer, so I went into my printers
windows and deleted the printer, closed the printer
window and repeated the above procedure, which has

worked
fine on every other machine, btw. I go back into the
printer window and there are two instances of the same
printer. The status of the first said "deleting" the
status of the 2nd said "opening", so I tried to delete
both of them. Now they both show a status of deleting.
When I added the printer a 3rd time, I still only have
the 2 instances, which are both showing they're

deleting?!
#$^%*@ And I can still print to the printer.
.
terry, delete the printer from the machine it is

attached to after you unplug the printer from the
server. you may need administrator priviledges to do so,
it depends on how that machine is set up
