Windows XP how to delete network printer

[PC Craze]

I searched most articles on google and yet haven’t found the solution to my problem. I thought I would ask my own forum friends.



I am having problem deleting network printer from one of my client pc. I log in as administrator and still can’t delete the printer.



We have a network printer that is no longer there. I have some client pc that still has that printer listed in their printer folder. When I try to delete the printer it won’t let me delete it. Does anyone have any trick that I am missing?

by the way we use both windows 2000 and xp.

Load the NTUSER.DAT file from the "All Users" profile into the registry editor and delete the printer entry from there.
