  1. Remove or Uninstall Printer Driver


    I've searched and searched, and the methods I have found all require printmanagement.msc which no longer exists. I have changed printers. I have removed the old printer from Printers & Scanners.I have removed the associated programs from Apps.Programs such as Word and Photoshop still think the drivers exist. So I need to delete the drivers. Hopefully without having to delete all printer drivers and somehow magically reinstall the new printer, as was suggested here in an earlier thread

    :)

  4. Remove or Uninstall Printer Driver

    Unable to remove a printer gone in "Unspecified" group

    An outdated, or incompatible printer driver could be causing the issue. We suggest that you update your printer driver, or
    uninstall the printer driver; then, restart the computer, and have Windows install the latest driver automatically. Check the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type devmgmt.msc and press enter.
    • Locate the printer driver and uninstall it.
    • Restart the computer.

    Keep us posted.
