How to Remove a Printer
Over time, you may want to upgrade to a new printer and get rid
of your old one. When you do, you also may want to remove the older
printerdriver from your computer so that your Printers
window isn’t cluttered with printers you don’t need anymore.
If you remove a printer, it’s removed from the list of installed
printers, and if it was the default printer, Windows makes another printer you
have installed the default printer. You can no longer print to the printer you
removed unless you install it again.
To remove a printer:
1.Choose
Start→Devices and Printers (in the Hardware and Sound group).
The Devices and Printers window appears.
2.Right-click a printer and choose Remove Device.
You can also
select the printer and click the Remove Device
button at the top of the window.
3.In
the Printers dialog box that appears, click Yes.
The Devices and Printers window closes, and your printer is
removed from the printer list.
