Vista Ultimate x64:
Printer worked fine w/XP sp2
Have Brother 1440 printer listed 2x (as “Brother HL-1440” and “Brother
HL-1440 series”) and both say they are offline. Trying to delete both
but will not remove…get error msg “Printer cannot be removed. Operation
could not be completed ( error 0x00000057)”.
This printer was to run over network (printserver) with local TCP/IP
port created for use. As Admin through CMD prompt, tried stopping print
spooler and then delete and got error msg that said I needed to have
print spooler running. Also there are no print jobs listed for either
printer.
Looked on network for "Auto Brother 1440", per other post in this
forum, on (3) other net attached boxes and removed the only (1)
reference to this. Still no Luck.
Went into Cntl Pnl as Admin>Server Properties>Drivers and tried to
remove both but rec’d error :
1) The following package(s) can not be deleted:

I'm stumped and frustrated. Any thoughts?
Thanx in advance
