If I can add a printer but can't delete printers, what settings are causing
that? Is it a specific setting in a profile?

Thanks.
 
Hi

Are you getting any error?

Maybe this will help:

Open regedit
Traverse to the HKEY_USERS\SID\Printers\Connections\Printername

The SID in the above registry will be a long string of numbers that begins
with an
S.
The Printername in the above is listed as the server name and then the
printer
name.

Delete the folder of the printer you wish to get rid of. The printer
should no
longer appear in the Printers folder. If it does not, stop and restart the
spooler
and check again.
