How do you delete/uninstall printer driver?

[Guest]

I have 2 computers. One with XP Professional, the other Windows 98. They
are network connected. While using the XP pc, I printed to the printer on
the 98 pc which uses an HP Office Jet R80. When I first tried to print, a
dialog box appeared and said I needed to install the driver for the printer,
which I did and it worked fine. However, I accidentally installed the HPOJ
R60 instead of the R80. I know they both work fine, but for the sake of
learning, I want to delete the R60 driver. I tried deleting the entire
printer from the printer list, but when I re-installed with the correct R80
driver, the R60 driver still appears in the printer properties drop down
list. I know this doesn't matter, especially if I can print, but I want to
learn how to delete or uninstall the R60 driver while keeping the R80 driver.
At the least, I want to be able to delete the printer, reinstall, and only
have the R80 driver in the properties drop down list. Any suggestions???

In the Printer and Faxes window, pull down the File menu and choose
Server Properties. All your drivers will be listed there under the
Drivers tab. Usually when you reinstall a printer, you will be
asked if you want to keep an existing driver. If you choose No, you
get the opportunity to browse for another one or choose Have Disk.

Thank you!! Your instructions were perfect!! It never asked me if I wanted
to keep an existing driver though, but everything else was exactly as you
described. Much appreciated!
