remove old copies of printer?

I just downloaded a driver for Windows 10, we hope that it has fixed my wireless connection. Interestingly, the connection was well after the passage of Windows 8 until I installed a new modem from Comcast. (Also interesting that my computer is much slower with the new modem 'faster', but this is a question for Comcast.) Anyway - I'm now up to 5 copies of my Canon all-in-one, when I look at the list of printers in the control panel. Shoud I delete old copies? They take unnecessary space on my hard drive? Should I just leave them alone? Thank you...

Hello.

Most likely, additional copies have been added during installation attempts.  Delete all the copies that do not communicate with the printer to avoid any confusion.

If additional information is required, find more help contact us.

  • Install new printer and remove old printer

    I'm trying to remove and install a printer.  Someone can help me. I have a hp photosmart C7280 printer I want to install on pc.

    Follow-up to the procedure didn't work.

    lisawhittle,

    Run first remove print jobs to remove all blocked the queue print jobs.

    Unplug the printer.

    Uninstall the printer, start, Control Panel, add/remove programs, your printer, uninstall.

    Restart your computer.

    Then if you try to install the printer, you must install the printer before connecting the usb cable to the computer.

    Don't forget the programs anti-virus and firewall will block communications.

  • Photos saving disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries.  Should which library I use to remove old photos?  If I delete old photos in iPhotos appear in pictures and vice versa?

    Should which library I use to remove old photos?  iPhoto or Photos?

    If you migrated a library iPhoto to Photos and you want to release the storage, you should remove the pictures of these two libraries.

    Related photos storage only comes out, after that the last linked file has been deleted.  If you do not use more of the iPhoto library, move it to a backup drive. Then simply delete the photos of your new photo library.

  • How to remove old VBAI calibrations?

    VBAI calbration increments, you can select data from previous calibration, or create a new set of calibration data, but there is no option to remove old, obsolete calibration data.

    How can this be accomplished?  Is there a directory where the old files can be deleted, or obsolete, confusing calibrations hault forever our vision computers?

    You can delete calibrations in system resources manager (Tools > System Resource Manager)

    Select the calibration files that you want to remove, and then click Remove. Note that multiple selection works.

  • Example: Deskjet 3050 - J610: printer removes items in the print queue

    Please see problem posted on June 9, 2016 and thread support. Sorry, I don't know how to go on this subject but the problem that I've marked as being solved is no longer is. It it is possible to mark as resolved and to reopen the thread please let me know how and I would be glade to do. Essentially sent items to the queue printing are deleted until they can print. They show in the print queue and then are marked "delete." I ran Print ahd doctor Scan of my desktop PC, and he says that everything is OK with the printer. I can see what the ink levels in the printer, and it printed on the printer succcessfully diagnostic information when asked to do so. I can see all of the information on the model of the printer, the serial number etc. so it seems that the PC can see the printer. But it will not print emails or Word documents - while he has done it before. Problem seems to have started when I tried to scan a document in and it would not. Printer is connected wireless and has an IP address, it doesn't seem to be the firewall attached - I disabled the Anti Virus software and it will not print. It runs the Windows firewall good that cause issues? I disabled that too, but it did not help. I followed the intstructions given by Gemini02 a HP Support Agent and it seemed to solve the problem but it only did it once and then continued to remove items from the print queue. I also tried to turn off the printer and then the PC, left for a while and then restarted them and that seemed to work. He already showed the printer as offline and printing and scanning doctor fixed that but when I ran it but still it only printed once and then returned to the deletion of items in the print queue. Grateful for any advice anyone can offer please.

  • How to remove old Services of FXM of the dashboard of the EU in the FMS

    How to remove old Services of FXM from edge of the EU in the FMS?

    We have removed the few services of FXM, but again, we can see that in the EU in FMS dashboard. Please suggest measures to clear those FMS.

    Hello

    End-users objects exist generally in the administration server > data management (note the fxm and fxv nodes)

    but they may exist in other places (according to what dashboard they appear on).

    The caution would be to open a support case and support check that right objects are deleted in the right place in the data tree.

    Hope this helps
