Cannot remove a printer driver

Is this computer used by more than one user? If so and the other users has
a connection to a printer which uses the driver you are attempting to
delete, then the driver is still in use in the other profile.

If you are the only user, and the printer has been deleted, the explorer
process can still be holding a reference to the print driver UI component
which will also block the driver deletion.

I have a tool that can check for loaded modules and which process is loading
them but normally I just kill the explorer process, restart explorer and
delete the driver.
