• OfficeJet Pro 8610: Cannot remove my printer

  Hi all

  I tried to remove my printer (it did not work, so I tried to reinstall).

  I went into the control panel of configuration/printers, then right-click on my printer and press 'delete device '. The icon became gray and it has been like this for 3 days now. You can see on the bottom, it says ' status: removing device "."  I can't reinstall (does not recognize the printer).

  How can I get rid of this?

  I uninstalled all the HP software and delete a bunch of registry entries on the 8610. It's still there...

  Thanks for your help!

  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.

• Cannot remove a printer driver in the version of Windows7 Home Premium (64-bit).

  After you install the version of Windows7 Home Premium (64-bit), my printer (Samsung ML2552W) would print not but continues to divide a batch of blank pages.  I thought that the printer driver is apparently corrupt and I want to remove it and install again.  However I was not able to do this.  I signed in as an administrator, went to the MMC, but not able to find the "Print Management" snap-in  Then I read that Windows7 Home Premium doesn't have the snap-snap-in "Print Management".  Still, I have this snap or not, how do I remove the printer driver for this printer?

  Have you searched online? You searched on Google? You have restarted your computer? Here are the questions I ask for you help answer yourself.

  Have you checked if the printer has enough ink in there? Did you check the Samsung website? Have you contacted Samsung on this issue, well, have you? Have you checked the drivers? Have you updated the drivers? Have you checked the 'Device Manager' for the problem? Did you that the cable to the computer to the printer is not a little in it? You should check these. And if they don't work then come back.

• How to remove a printer who falls down the print spooler

  Windows 7 64 bit

  My print spooler seems to be screwed in place. Initial symptom was showing no printer installed, even though I have several applications. I was able to remove all my printers except one: when I try to delete it, the print spooler crashes, thus preventing the printer are removed. The printer (and others that I was able to successfully delete) has been installed with Novell iPrint.

  I've seen a few references to stop the print spooler and removing all C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS, but this place is already empty for me (with no hidden files).

  Official documentation of Windows 7 to remove a printer says:

  1. Open devices and printers, click Start , and then, on the start menu, click devices and printers.

  2. Right-click the printer you want to remove, click on remove the device and then click Yes.

     If you can't delete the printer, right-click again, click Run as administrator, click on remove the device and then click Yes. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  I don't have an option "Run as administrator" on the printer, so I can't try that last bit.

  Any other suggestions?

  I guess you tried to uninstall the software of the printer through programs and features (if there is one)?

  Is there an associated service of Novell iPrint? If so, stop it, then try the previous steps.

  Is it possible to raise again through iPrint installation and remove it? I'm not familiar with this program (it's been 20 years I messed with Novell).

  You are an administrator on this PC? Is this printer a network printer? If so, are there other PC on which may be trying to access?

  SC Tom

  P.S. I don't have the option "Run as Administrator" when I right click on any printer on one of three different computers with three different operating systems, so I don't know where Microsoft came up with that one.

• How can I remove a printer with Windows 7?

  The printer that I deleted manually is always displayed? How can I totally remove it from everywhere?

  Hello

  -What is the brand and model of the printer?

  -How have you tried to manually delete the printer?

  -May I know the location where the printer is showing?

  Step 1: I suggest you to uninstall Prgorams printer drivers.
  Uninstall or change a program
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/uninstall-or-change-a-program
  
  Step 2: Open devices and printers , click the Start button, and then click the Start menu, click on devices and printers.
  
  (a) right click on the printer that you want to Remove, click remove device, and then click Yes.
  (b) If you are unable to delete the printer, right-click again, click run as administrator, click Remove device and then click Yes. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  Notes:
  (a) If you have a multifunction printer or all-in-one, you can often remove the printer from devices and printers without affecting other functions of the device. So, for example, you could continue to see a scanner or a fax to the device icon.
  (b) you cannot uninstall a printer if you have files in your queue. Cancel printing, or wait until Windows has finished printing. Once the queue is clear, Windows will remove the printer.
