Re: [XP] Problem deleting printer(s)

Did you re-boot your computer after deleting the old printer?

Re: [XP] Problem deleting printer(s)

Yes, I did indeed reboot the computer. The funny thing is that I can immeadiately delete the new one...the old printer...no go

Thanks,

Re: [XP] Problem deleting printer(s)

Is the old printer set as your "default" printer? If so, I'd recommend changing your "default" printer to your new printer, then try deleting the old printer. I remember this being a problem in Win 9X and W2K Professional, but haven't had the need to delete any printers in WinXP, so I don't know if that little glitch has been cleared or not.
