Cannot uninstall the printer driver

I installed a Samsung universal and now impossible to uninstall with Windows 7 printer driver.  I removed the printer and still no luck.  I read your previous posts and pointed out that the Windows cleanup utility apparently in is no longer available.  How can I remove this driver?

Hi Peter,.

Uninstalling the driver is a little different from the uninstallation of software.

Please follow these steps to remove the driver:

  1. Unlug the printer and restart the computer
  2. Use this guide to remove the old driver: http://www.petri.co.il/removing-old-drivers-from-vista-and-windows7.htm
  3. If you want to use the printer, then install the correct driver now
  4. Plug the printer back

Kind regards

  • Cannot add the printer driver for Deskjet 1010 on Mac OS 10.9.5

    I installed the printer driver on my Mac Mini running 10.7.5 almost without problem (Finally, among the first impressions really get a glimpse of accentes, but that was only once and can be another problem) and it print fast and well. But now I try to add this printer to my MB Pro runs 10.9.5 and he's still that software can currently not be loaded from the server (since 2 days now).

    I guess that means that my Mac Mini, which probably only has drivers for the oder to OS X. I also tried to install the drivers directly (downloaded from Apple support pages) but always without success. I always get this horrible message.

    He resolved myself: connected the printer via the USB port, which has installed the driver. Then I could remove the local USB printer and use the network printer.

  • Mac OS 10.5 Hello cannot find the printer driver for P1606dn connected via a wired network.

    I tried to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8.  I have connected the priner to my LAN via the Ethernet cables and Switch 8 port NetGear.  I then properly installed printer driver from the CD provided on the Mac and went into system preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of the connected printers.  Click on the button «+»  The HP P106dn was listed in the table (kind = Hello).

    I chose this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the pullodwn "to Print using" listed the message 'Please select a printer or driver model' greyed and a spinning wheel called 'Search for new drivers' appeared underneath.  The dialog box search but never find the printer driver (I waited for 20 minutes without success).  I installed some other HP printers in this way on this machine with no problems, for example, HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.  Why this method does not work with this printer?

    I was able to connect to this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my house through this arrangement of LAN.  Is the printer driver for the Intel Macs only?

    I disconnected the printer from the local network and connected directly to my Mac with a USB cable.  The same process, and I was able to connect to this printer.  Successfully print a document page.  Although it gives me a work-around for Mac G5, I need to share this printer with other Macs in my household.

    I went on the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on Mac and repeat the steps for the arrangement of LAN (above) complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog box.  The result was the same: spinning wheel looking for a printer driver are not.

    I don't know what else to do, or why this facility will not work.  I would much appreciate it if someone could give an explanation for this or any suggestions as to what can be done?

    I'm sorry to get back to you on this so late.  I was OOT Sunday all day.

    Ok. So, here is what happened.  As I mentioned at the end of my last post, I was in the process of resetting my printing system, repair disk permissions, then restarting.   Reset the printing system wiped out all my printers in the "Printers" pane in the "Print & Fax" system preferences dialog window  I moved forward and fix permissions of the drive on my system disk.  A number of authorities have been repaired, but nothing that I could decipher impression related ro.  Finally, I restarted my Mac and went directly to the dialog box print & Telec.

    As the printers pane was still empty, I'm gone before adding the simplest of my printers (LaserWriter 360 connected via AppleTalk) who has always been correctly added to the list printers in the past.  No chance!  WAITED a few minutes everything is was "Looking for new drivers.".  I tried the Color Laserjet 2605dn.  No luck.  Then the Laserjet P1606dn.  No luck.

    Thus, this way of solution did not work, and now I was without any driver associated with one of my connected printers.  I decided that I had no choice to rebuild the operating system.  I started my DVD of Installation OS 10.5.4 to rebuild my system (without reformatting my HARD drive).  Once which was finished, I've immediately went to the Print & Fax dialog box and tried to add in each of my printers.  In a few seconds the LaserWriter was added successfully, then the HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, and FINALLY, the Laserjet P1606dn.  Thus, it appeared that my upgrade to OS 10.5.8 was at the origin of the problem.

    I proceed with Sofware Update to restore the computer to OS 10.5.8 and again once, went to the dialog box Print & Fax to experiment with the addition of each of the printers again.  Stopping before the acceptance of each 'Add', I could find quickly and successfully the drivers for each of the connected printers.  So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with OS 10.5.8 find printer drivers.

    After reflection, I concluded that the problem must have appeared during the upgrade to OS 10.4.11 OS 10.5.4, but it remained hidden until I tried to add these new printers to the list of printers.

    I appreciate the reference to the last download Laserjet full feature software.   Since I was able to solve the problem without it, I mind not do the download.

    I want to thank you for patiently stay with me during the last two weeks, your advice and comments.  Just having someone to "talk" about it, it was reassuring and useful that I went along to apply each suggestion to the problem.  I tried to solve this problem several times on my own before that, the search of the forums, and I hesitated to participate actively – to reach out.  I'm feeling very different about it now.  Once again, thanks a lot.

    The download (or Install) window presented with percentage bar.

    but the percentage remains at 0% for 10 minutes.

    I thought that something was wrong with the Scan Doctor

    I decided to take the alternative; uninstall the current printer driver in my computer (computer laptop HP 'Pavilion', Windows8).

    I uninstalled it then tried to download the same driver on the HP site.

    It is same as the pilot of scanning and printing doctor;

    same window, "0% download" forever.

    Now, I'm totally at a loss. Have what wrong I done?  How can I make my printer work again or how do I know what is the problem?

    The driver is big enough, I would say save to disk, and then run the installation program.  You could do a right click on the link here, select "Save as", then download the file.  Depending on your internet speed, it make take some time downloading.  If it doesn't for you please specify exactly what is happening when you try to download the file, and any error messages see you.

    -Cannot find the driver on the internet too...

    Please help me... Ive got tons of work to do...

    Hi momo lulamka,.

    1. at the printer works very well under Windows 7 64-bit sooner?

    The compatibility of Windows 7 Center believes that any information on this model of printer there is a possibility that this printer is perhaps not compatible with Windows 7.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?l=en-us&type=hardware&s=Canon%20pixma%20ip1980

    Method 1

    As a work around you can check if the print spooler service is running on the computer.

    A print spooler is the service that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print.

    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

    (a) open administrative tools by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type Administrative Tools, and then click Administrative Tools.

    (b) double click Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (c) right click on the print spooler service, and then click Properties.

    (d) under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.

    (e) if the service is not already running, under Service status, click Startand then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Reinstall using CD product a step only, that is, agree to the terms. Conversations with Epson have not solved the problem.

    If your second line means that the fax machines and Printers window is empty - NO printer icon - then the immediate cause is that the print spooler service is not running.

    Start the print spooler service as follows:

    Start > run > net start spooler > OK

    If everything works now, then fine.  More that likely, however, the print spooler service stops again.  If it does, the circumstances in which she stops (that is, what do you do when it stops) and all messages in the event viewer (start > run > eventvwr > OK) will help determine the cause.

    Generally, the print spooler service stops because a printer or a pending print job driver is corrupted somehow.  The indications here explain how to clean the printer drivers (necessary before re-installing) as well as all pending print jobs:http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm
