Delete cannon printer

[southernwind]

I have a cannon ip2600 printer.It has worked for about 6 months and now I can't print. I have canceled all documents and tried to delete drivers so I can reinstall but vista won't let me. I get a message- Unable to remove ip2600 series x86,type3-user mode driver. The specified printer driver is currently in use. Thanks, Keith

You dont usually delete drivers, you just reinstall from Canon site

Just unplug it and uninstall any associated software.

Maybe I'm going about this all wrong. I was told by cannon that I need to delete the printer so I can reinstall the installation disk. I went through the control panel but when I hit delete nothing happans. Some times the icon will just spin and then I get a message that the program is not responding. Cannon tried to talk me through it but it would not delete. They blamed it on Acer and when I called Acer tech support they blamed cannon.Acer said all they could do is restore factory settings. Both printer and computer are about 6 months old.

By the way it's Canon and you can't delete anything in the program list you
can only uninstall or change things.
