How do I remove printer drivers in Windows 7 without print managem
Background: Installed a network printer on a new laptop that bluescreened, now I can't access the print properties atc without getting an error and can't get to print preferences at all. I have reinstalled, removed, installed this printer half a dozen times after this but even choosing to replace printer driver doesn't help at all. The obvious next step is to remove the driver itself but I have found no way of doing this on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit since printmanagement.msc isn't available (and copying the file from another machine just yields an error message from mmc, cannot install snap-in). Question: Is there a way to run print management on Home Premium or do I have to edit the registry directly? If I do have to edit the registry under which keys do I find print queue/driver information? I've spent quite a few hours looking for a solution online but except for the odd fact that people upgrading from RC seem to have access to printmanagement even on Premium(???) I have had no luck. Any suggestions would be helpful. Best Regards, Jorgen |
