I had a problem with printer driver,It was solved by downloading an updated
version, How do I take out the `old` one as I don`t see anything to
`uninstall`
Secondly I now get a pop up saying can`t find file (when I go to print)....I
just exit this pop up and all is ok but it is annoying how do I get rid of
the pop up?

thanks

To see printer drivers installed, do
/ start / run / settings / system /device manager
and select this particular printer and / properties.
One of the panels lists drivers, and you could
write down the names and delete them.
Most people do not bother with this. In theory
the / Printers / Remove option is believed to
remove drivers needed by no other device.

This may depend on what OS and app you are using.
