Remove Old Printers

mlw734 · 05-25-2008, 07:14 AM

I have replaced printers on my Home Network a couple of times. When I setup the new printer for access to a wireless desktop, I still still see the old printers listed as choices for printer selection. How do I remove these entries to assure that the most current printer is listed for selection?

In the Printers and Faxes window.
Go to File>Server Properties
Under the Drivers tab, remove the drivers for the old printer.
Then delete the printer from the window.

This doesn't appear to work. When I try to remove the drivers, the delete buttons are greyed out. If I try to delete the printer, it errs that printer cannot be removed, Access is denied.

Thanks
