I have a Win2k workstation that has a printer installed for all users. The
printer is shown as :

HPDeskjet 910c Y4 1 on Workstation2

I'm guessing it must have been set-up using the PrintUIEntry command. This
printer no longer exists on the network so I want to remove it for all users
that will log on. So far I have been unable to remove it. I have tried the
following commands with no success:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /gd /n"\\Workstation2 \HPDeskjet 910c Y4
1"
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dl /n"\\Workstation2 \HPDeskjet 910c Y4
1"

There must be a way to forcefully remove this printer surely??

Paul,

Check to see if the printer is listed under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers as a sub-key. If it is try
removing it from here, you may want to export the sub-key as a backup before removing it.
