It was missing a function to install printers.

I see. I'm missing a function to remove printers. Perhaps you can help with this annoying problem:

I repaired a printer for a friend, and installed the drivers on my machine to test the printer. After 'uninstalling' the printer it still appears in the 'Driver' drop-down box under advanced properties for my HP 4L printer. How in the hell do I get rid of this?

Ooo, I never seem able to remove any drivers I install, having partialy installed things on your system is one of the most annoying things widows has to offer.

I'm a nuclear reactor cooling system programmer, if you see me running, it's probably already too late.

Hehe, prolly some registry thing, but also check out spool folder in system32 folder. I found several gigabyte's worth of copies of HP's drivers for my DJ5550 since HP has no clue what they are doing and effectively make virusses :wink:

Thanks. I already searched the registry for all words and numbers contained in the driver name without luck. With regard to spotting files in the system folders, Im not sure I know what to look for. BTW, how does windows knows what to look for, if it is only a file. Somewhere a system ini og registry file must somehow point to that file ... or am I completely mistaken?

Check your win.ini file, on the first couple of lines maybe there's a device entry pointing to that printer. If it is, delete everything except "device=". Maybe that'll work...


Oh baby yeah.

Here's a copy of my path, it's prolly the same or very similar for you:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86
