Hi,
I'm having a hard time removing a network printer description on XP.
On my laptop, I installed my home printer, which is connected to (and
shared by) my home PC (named bob). I recently changed the machine
name of the PC (now it's joe), and, of course, my laptop couldn't see
'myprinter on bob' anymore, so I installed again, this time using joe.
So now when I go to print, I have two options: myprinter on bob, and
myprinter on joe. If I go into Printers and Faxes and select
myprinter on bob and hit delete, it says "Printer cannot be removed.
Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified
printer has lost its connection to the server."
Is there a way to uninstall myprinter on bob without renaming my pc
back to bob and then deleting it?
thanks,
nate
