• I want to remove/erase/print driver to Windows 7 and can't find any documentation.

  New DELL Windows 7 computer (within 30 days) and want to remove persistent / printer driver.

  Could not find any documentation on the issue, and neither DELL nor Microsoft are willing to provide any type of support, unless its paid for a product or service that is less than 30 days old.

  OK, I found the solution to this problem... the info above is correct as it goes, but in my case, there was no option to erase the print on both printers 'ghost' queue because they were disconnected and (b) it has been shared on the network unavailable, so no option to the print queue was posted and had a printer assigned to TCP/IP port.

  Here's how I did, step by step:

  1. right click on desktop, create a new shortcut with the target under 'cmd.exe '.
  2. right click on the shortcut, "Run as Administrator".
  3. run the tool printui: printui/s/T2
  4. try to remove printers. If this does not work...
  5. click on start > run > Services.msc
  6 locate the print spooler service and right click > properties > stop him.
  7. open my computer and go to c:\Windows\System32\spool\Printers
  (you will need to say 'oK' to access the file).
  8 REMOVE the contents of this folder.
  9 restart the print spooler service.
  10. go back into the printui utillity (might need to restart using the same method as above) and try to delete printers again. This time it should work. If necessary, see the "Ports" tab and delete all TCP/IP ports that are associated with the old printer.
  11 Last but not least, I checked the other computers on my home network to see if any of these was located at the old printer and I removed these mappings, as the date of the spooling documents suggest it was printed in time once it has been deleted physically.

• Printer network under Windows 8.1

  My works Photosmart 4280 old fine with wondows 8.1 through the forum, but having managed to do work with windows 8.1 my other two computers running windows 7 and are wireless will not contact the Photosmart windows 8.1 computer connected by usb. I have the tested network and file sharing, and type of work. I had the controls themselves, made for sharing the printer on all computers. The printer worked fine on the network until I installed windows 8.1. Any help would be appreciated... Thank you.

  Generally, your client machine must use a driver that is compatible with the host computer. Because your host is windows 8.1, your drivers are for windows 8.1, so the previous drivers signal may be different and will not work. Network printing is horrible and has always been. What you can try, deletes the printer completely from your windows machines drivers 7, and there is a configuration of sharing on your machine 8.1, which allows you to specify that drivers can be used, so that you can use older drivers on machines that cannot use the new printer. Once it is setup, you should be able to connect to the printer and windows 7 will get the drivers that are defined in your printer sharing - and then it should work.

  It's very high level and I him did not for a few years as all my printers are wireless now, but I hope this helps.

• FTP problems and printer network in windows 7

  Hello Experts,

  We use an FTP server based on linux to save MS Office files on it and the PC client are Windows XP and Win7 and use MS Office 2003 + 2007 + 2010.
  There no problem at all on XP based machines regardless of the version of MS Office to connect to the FTP.
  Also, there is no problem on Win7 machines using Office 2003.
  But there is the problem where we use Office 2007 or 2010 on a Win7 based machine.

  The problem is that the option ' add/modify Ftp location' never appears in MS Office applications. If we are able to add FTP through the card reader option, he is able to open the FTP files at very slow speed, but he never recorded any file on ftp after editing or having a few new files.

  Also, there is another problem that is a little different but I put the link here, maybe he has links with the above problem.

  Welcome to the HP community @Felix_B,

  I read your post about the troubles you are experiencing remove the printer from your Windows 10 system, and I hope that I can help you with questions. I think it could be stuck print jobs in the print queue, so recommend some things to try to get over there.

  Please start by trying the following steps:

  Step 1: Check print spooler:

  source

  1. Open your screen to Start by clicking the Windows button on the lower left side of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl key
  2. In the start screen, type run
  3. Click Run to launch the run dialogue box
  4. In the run box, type services.msc and click OK
  5. When the Services window opens scroll down until you see the print spooler
  6. Click Print Spooler once just to highlight
  7. If you Start in the upper left corner that indicates that your print spooler is actually stopped (not good). But we will leave that for now.
  8. If you stop or restart in the upper left corner, this indicates that your print spooler is actually started. Please click on stop to stop the service momentarily.
  9. Reduce this window which will allow us to come back here

  Step 2: Check the spooler folder:

  1. Reopen your splash screen
  2. Computertype. Click on the computer (or on This PC) when it fills so
  3. In the computer window, select your Drive C
  4. Click on Windows
  5. Click on System32
  6. Click on the reel
  7. Click PRINTERS. You can get permissions to a warning, just continue beyond that.
  8. PRINTERS of the folder must be empty. If there is no file here, they are corrupt print jobs. Right click on anything in that folder and 'delete' files.
  9. Close the PRINTERS folder

  Step 3: Start Spooler and audit dependencies:

  1 open the Services window we previously minimized

  2. click on print spooler to highlight

  3. click on Start in the upper left corner

  4. If you get an error message please take note of this

  5. If the print spooler starts successfully you will see "stop and restart" as your options at the top left

  6. then, double left click on print spooler. A print spooler properties window is now open. Click the connection tab at the top. Can you please make sure that it is set to Local System account and make sure that the check box is selected to "Allow the Service to interact with desktop".

  7. then click on the tab "dependencies". Please check which dependencies are listed. I need to know this if the problem persists when you have completed the steps I provide in this post.

  

  8. click on apply and OK for any changes that you have made the log tab. Close the Services window.

  Now try to access devices and printers and try to remove the printer.

  I hope this helps, and if you have problems, please let me know and I'll do my best to help you. If these steps helped to solve the problem, click Accept as button Solution at the end of my post here please.

• Impossible to remove a printer from Windows 7 after his retirement from the server

  I'm trying to remove a printer from the network.  He took the RODC without problem.  Now, try to remove it from a Windows 7 machine, I get the error: "access is denied, cannot delete the device.  The printer was added to Windows 7 by opening the print share, and automatically installed the drivers.  Removing it should be equally easy or even automatic.

  I tried the following:

  1. There is no option "Run as Administrator" to the printer, or any level of the path of Control Panel.
  2. I have run CMD as administrator, then launched PRINTUI/s/T2.  For the printer driver will not uninstall because it is used by the printer and another printer.  So I don't want to uninstall the driver.  I want just the deleted network printer.
  3. The server shows no vestige on the part of the printer by using NET SHARE.
  4. I restarted the spooler on the server and the local computer printer
  5. I tried to disable UAC completely.  Still no access.
  6. There is no printing on the local computer under C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS.
  7. Under elevated privileges, I tried running PRINTUI /dn \\server\sharename.  Also PRINTUI /dn printername.  «Impossible operation completed (error 0 x 00000709).» Double check the name of the printer and make sure that the printer is connected to the network. "Why should it be connected to the network if I am trying to delete it?
  8. Also tried the PRINTUI /dl switch.  Wants the connected printer.
  9. Tried PRINTUI/dn/n \\servername\sharename of elevated privileges.  Access is denied.
  10. The printer is not in group policy.
  11. I searched for the appropriate methods of elimination of network printers where it was supposed to be done first customer.  Nothing found.
  12. From a command prompt high. A ran "Control Panel."  He opens the configuration panel.  Navigated to the printer and "remove hardware".  Same mistake.

  At the end of the day I will try to end the session, and then restart.  I don't expect you to do anything.

  In my case, my solution has proved to be much simpler.  I had been out of IT for years and was filling this position, trying to learn the tricks of the trade.  I had never been familiar with 'The printer management' tool AD Admin.  (Domain environment)  I just had to remove the printer out there.

  I had a good laugh when an another computer scientist who noted.
