network printer removal

[paul cole]

I have a win2k pro workstation (sp4)that was an upgrade
from nt4.0. If I try to delete a certain network printer
it gives me the error "operation could not be completed"
and writes a "Event ID 20" in the event logger. The
printer wont let me even change the driver or anything in
the proerties page..Is there a way to force a deleteion of
this printer?

Have you tried File>> Server Properties?

Best way is to remove any mention of it in the registry.
