Hi,

I'm trying to find a driver that will work with an older printer. It's a
mess, and I tryed some until now.

Somehow, I feel that a wrong driver installed in my system can mess up
things, and prevent the correct driver to work.

I know I can uninstall a printer, but how can I remove completely the files
it uses?


Thanks,

Luiz Horacio
 
Open Printer and Faxes, File menu, Server Properties, Drivers tab, select one, Remove.

Windows always tries to keep driver's files. It figures if you used it once you may again one day. Saves having to find a disk if you use it again.
 
If you type in Help while online

delete printer driver

You'll be shown command line tools to delete printer drivers and Article ....
