Print Driver Removal

-

i'm running windows 2003 server acting print server. want remove printer driver being used 4 printers. how remove it? thanks

you either need delete printers or change printers use different driver, delete driver.  assume installing replacement driver printers , want remove old driver before installing new driver.

if not have other printers using generic text driver, install , change one.  if using driver pick basic driver not used other printers since change new driver when done , it's easier if printers changing set same basic driver. four printers not bad, can remember ones need change.  50 150 it's gets bit tougher.

there times when ui component still used explorer.exe , spooler.  if driver not delete after change, log off , on.  if still no successful deletion, stop , start print spooler service.
