delete network printers

[colleen medin]

Installed xp yesterday & ended up with 2 network printers that are no longer
there. How does one delete network printers. They were originally on the pc
that got updated to xp. Click on printers & fax's & they are not there.
Anyone got any ideas? TIA

Open the Printers and Faxes folder, right-click an undesired printer,
and click Delete.

Unfortunately they are NOT in that folder. Look in the workgroup & find them
there :-(. None of our 3 pc's have them in there printer/fax folders.

If the printers no longer exist, they'll automatically go away after a
while. There's no explicit way to remove obsolete entries from My
Network Places.
