7 Uninstalling the Printer Driver
This chapter describes the procedure for uninstalling the printer driver.
7.1 Windows
When you have to remove the printer driver, for example, when reinstallation of the printer driver is necessary,
remove the driver using the following procedure.
1
Open the [Printers] window or [Printers and Faxes] window.
2
Select the icon for the printer to be uninstalled.
3
Press the [Delete] key on the computer to uninstall the printer driver.
4
From then on, follow the instructions on the pages that follow.
When the printer driver has been deleted, the icon disappears from the [Printers] or [Printers and Faxes]
window.
In Windows NT 4.0, this completes the uninstallation process. Go to Step 10.
In Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Server 2003/Server 2008, go on to uninstall the printer driver from the server
properties.
5
Open [Server Properties].
% In Windows Vista/Server 2008, right-click on the area that has nothing displayed in the [Printers]
window, click [Run as administrator] - [Server Properties].
% In Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, click the [File] menu, then [Server Properties].
% If the [User Account Control] window appears, click [Continue].
6
Click the [Driver] tab.
7
From the [Installed printer drivers:] list, select the printer driver to be removed, and then click [Re-
move...].
% In Windows Vista/Server 2008, go to Step 8.
% In Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, go to Step 9.
8
In the dialog box for confirming the items to be removed, select [Remove driver and driver package.],
and then click [OK].
9
In the dialog box for confirming if you are sure to remove the printer, click [Yes].
% In Windows Vista/Server 2008, the dialog box appears to reconfirm if you are sure. Click [Uninstall].
10
Close the open windows, and then restart the computer.
% Be sure to restart the computer.
This completes removing the printer driver.
Reference
- In Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, even if the printer driver is deleted using the preceding method, the
model information file will remain in the computer. For this reason, when reinstalling the same version
of the printer driver, the driver may not be rewritten. In this case, remove the following files as well.
– Check the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32e86" folder ("C:\WIN-
DOWS\system32\spool\drivers\e64" folder in the e64 system, and "C:\WINNT\system32\spool\driv-
ers\w32e86" folder in Windows 2000), and if there is a folder (file described in "oem*.inf" shown below
in Windows 2000) of the corresponding model, remove it. However, if multiple drivers are installed in-
cluding the PCL driver, PostScript driver and fax driver, the model information of all drivers is deleted.
To leave drivers other than the fax driver, do not remove the folder.
