    Cannot remove printer driver

    How can I get forced through to remove the printer driver? I keep receiving error message that it is in use, even if it is not. Can the driver stopped a space?

    Did you tried the Safe mode? Ideally you should be able to delete it from there.

    I tried that already but it did not worked. I must have removed the drivers. Some other good suggestions would be greatly welcome?

    To delete the driver:

    1. From the Printers and Faxes or Printers folder, click File and then Server Properties.
    2. Click the Drivers tab.
    3. Select the driver to be uninstalled, and then click Remove.
    4. OPTIONAL: Delete the entire UPD registry entry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software\Hewlett\Packard\HP Print Settings to clean out the cached UPD registry settings.
    5. OPTIONAL: remove the driver files from \3 directory. Example .. \ windows \system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3

    Do not know if it works, but try
