Unable to remove print driver
I'm attempting to remove a printer driver no longer
required and I get "Unable to remove HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL 6 , Intel , Windows 2000 or XP driver. The specified driver is in use". I removed the printer icon and there is no printer activity. Does anyone know how I can remove this driver? |

Unable to remove print driver
If any other printer on the network is also using that driver, you must
uninstall the driver from ALL the other printers on the network before you can regain 'control' of it to uninstall it. Or disconnect the PC in question from the network!

Unable to remove print driver
Network printers on a client that are added using the Add Printer Wizard are
specific to a user. If another user has logged on at the computer and added a printer using the same driver, you probably won't be able to remove the driver until that user account deletes the printer. This is one reason that I favour using the "global" add printer method as described in http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/NetPrinterAllUsers.htm. You may be able to delete the printer driver using steps 7 through 13 at http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/Clea...erDrivers.htm. -- Bruce Sanderson MVP It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
