Note
Even if the printer driver is deleted using the method described above, the model information file will
remain in the computer for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003. Therefore, when reinstalling the same
version of the printer driver, the driver may not be able to be overwritten. In this case, delete the
following files. "C: \WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86"
When you check folders and find a folder of the applicable model, delete it. However, if multiple drivers
are installed including the Generic driver, PostScript driver and fax driver, the model information of all
drivers is deleted. If other drivers are remaining, do not delete it.
"C: "Delete "oem*.inf" and "oem*.PNF" in "\WINDOWS\inf" folder (the asterisk "*" in the file name
indicates a number, and the number varies according to the environment of the computer).
Before deleting the files, open the INF file, check that the model name is described in the last several
lines, and then check that the file of the corresponding model is available. The PNF file is the same
number as the INF file.
In Windows Vista, when you have deleted a file using "Remove driver and driver package", this
operation is not required.
