    Removed printer, name still appears with print queue inside

    Hi

    Recently I have added a printer, sent a print command but did not go through. So I have removed the printer, and may be the print queue was in it still. Now the printer name do not appear in Device and Printers list but when I want to print something from
    Office applications, I still see the name on the drop down menu and the name shows that the queue is still inside.

    Can anyone suggest how I can get rid of the name and the queue?
