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.
