Cannot delete the printer from the "printers".

OfficeJet 6500 a Plus.  Connected by cable to the xp machine.  Has been used in wireless mode successfully for more than a year of a machine Win 8. Some how it did not work, but I could not remove the window 'printer '. I had to download and reload the driver to use the printer.  But I can not yet remove the printer "old."   The new printer is named "HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z (network).  The old printer is called "HP7F8C60 (HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z). Can't use it or remove it. Thank you.

Thank you for your quick response.  I could just delete it by clicking on delete.  I went through the following sequence messy and finally had success.

I have a right-click on properties and tried each element. I got error on each of them, messages which are the most common response (80%), "printer can not be deleted. Double check the name, and make sure that the printer is connected to the network'.» Sometimes, I would get an error code. (Mentally I was not ready to dig that right now.)

I could not change the name, or connect to any network. I tried for a half hour and failed several times on each of the elements. Then I clicked on 'Shortened' again (I don't know why!). This time, it reduces the number of points on the 'properties' of 10 points to 5 or 6. The item "Refresh" remained. I clicked "Refresh", and the printer has disappeared! I do not remember the sequence, or how many times I tried each item, but I have to hit the right combination and when, because the wrong printer icon has disappeared, and the good printer works.  Thanks for everyone's interest and help.

  • Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

    I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

    Found a solution to this problem.

    Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
    1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
    2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
    3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
    4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
    5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
    6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

    Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.

    Cannot delete the file.  Says "not not found could not find this item check the location of this object and try again."

    I got this file from my friend got sent - is a word document, I had on their computer.  So I tried to use Disk Cleanup to delete temporary files, temporary internet files and files program downloaded.  Does not work.

    When I check the properties, there is no security tab so I can't transfer ownership in this way.

    I don't want to experiment using the way of the transfer of ownership command prompt as the name of the file is several sentences long.  I can't rename it either, of course.

    Windows 7, a week and I already have a stupid problem which has already lost an hour of my time.

    What I did was to create a Notepad file that was empty and saved in the same location as the file that won't go away.  Once registered.  I click with the right button on the new file and rename the exact name as the file problem.  Don't forget to change the file extension (ex: .doc)

    ex file problem: word.doc

    new file: word.doc

    as long as they match eachother exactly you should see the file problem disappear and once that's gone, you can delete the new file created.
