Printer won't delete
-----Original Message----- I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but...I have 2 XP pro machines used by our Controller and Payables person. The Controller prints to an HP LJ5 that's shared off the payables computer. He was having problems printing so I tried deleting and re-installing the printer. (It was also on the machine twice, so I am trying to delete both.) However, the printer won't delete. It says "Deleting" but is not going away. The user does have admin rights. To make matters worse, every time I open the Printers and Fax folder XP shifts 98% of CPU resources to the process explorer.exe causing other apps to lock up or go at a snail's pace. Of course when I terminate the explorer process the other apps go back to normal, but there's no start menu, desktop, task bar, etc. So...is there any way to force a printer uninstall? Maybe from dos? TIA -john smith . |
