can't remove printer driver on networked maching

[R.E.Cox]

hi:

i'm on a home network, using xerox printer hooked to
another machine. i suspect my driver has become
corrupted, and am trying to remove it in order to
reinstall. i go through the steps -- have successfully
deleted printer reference from "printers and faxes"
dialogue box -- but am prevented from deleting file from
File|Server Properties|Drivers. When "Remove" is chosen,
i get the message "unable to remove... the specified
printer driver is currently in use.
i suspect problem has something to do with the spooler,
but am uncertain, and can't figure where to go.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

bob
