Unable to delete net share printer

G

Greg

I am trying to delete the sharename LaserPrinter which is
listed below. I only have one printer shared at the
moment from checking the "Printer and Faxes" in control
panel. But I have this mysterious "LaserPrinter" w/ no
resources mapped to it.

Any ideas on how to delete "LaserPrinter" with "net
share"? Since it doesn't show up in "Printer and Faxes"
