Replacing Existing Printer?
From:
There are two types of Printer Drivers. Those that get installed via a Setup and those that get installed via an INF files. Usually the drivers that are installed via a formal installation process may be removed through the "Add/Remove Programs" or "Programs and Features" Control Panel applet. However if you install a printer manually and point to ther printer's INF file then there is no formal uninstallation process. Therefore it can depend on the printer and how the printer was installed. Generally speaking, if you have Printer X installed and you remove it from the active list in "Printers" or "Printers and Devices" it does not remove the drivers and/or associated software. Only if you ran a formal installation process can they be removed via the "Add/Remove Programs" or "Programs and Features" Control Panel applet. Thanks for the info, David.
