Cant delete a networked printer!

[Paul Howes]

I have posted this in win2000 printing a couple of times with no success, so
I'm trying here in hope! Here is my problem.

I have a Win2k workstation that has a printer installed for all users. The
printer is shown as :

HPDeskjet 910c Y4 1 on Workstation2

I'm guessing it must have been set-up using the PrintUIEntry command. This
printer no longer exists on the network so I want to remove it for all users
that will log on. So far I have been unable to remove it. I have tried the
following commands on the win2k workstation with no success, it just keeps
reappearing:

rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /gd /n"\\Workstation2 \HPDeskjet 910c Y4
1"
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /dl /n"\\Workstation2 \HPDeskjet 910c Y4
1"

Is there a way to forcefully remove this printer please, its driving me
mad!!

No guarantees for this either, but you can try this:
1. log in as local admin for the pc
2. if printer exists in printers folder, remove it
3. run regedit.exe
- search for and delete any keys that reference
"HPDeskjet 910c"
- you might want to also search for "Workstation2"

Printers can be added as part of the login script using programs like
Kixtart. Did you check the login scripts?

Yep checked the login scripts...no reference. Will try and search registry
for it when im next there as suggested above.

Thanx
