Deleting related files

Even after the printer driver is deleted from the Printers and Faxes window,
device information files remain on the computer.
When using Windows XP/Server 2003, it may not be possible to overwrite
the driver, even if the same version of the printer driver is reinstalled. If the
printer driver cannot be upgraded, even by reinstalling it, follow the
procedure described below to also delete the device information files.

Open the following folder.
– C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86

be displayed. Follow the on-screen instructions to specify the
settings that are displayed.

remains, do not delete it.
