Unable to remove HP LJ1200 Driver from Server Properties

Posted: 07-28-2003, 11:01 AM
Hello,

I am running Windows XP Professional. Recently, my HP
Laserjet 1200 broke and when I went to the store I found
out that they are now discontinued and I bought the new
HP Laserjet 1300.

I performed an uninstall of the old HP 1200 printer but I
happened to notice when I go to the following:
Control Panel
Printers and Faxes
Click on File - Server Properties
and Click on Drivers

I see both the HP 1200 and HP 1300 listed under Installed
Printer Drivers. When I highlight the HP 1200 printer
and click REMOVE it says "Unable to remove HP Laserjet
1200 series PCL, Intel, Windows 200 or XP driver. The
specified printer driver is currently in use".

The HP 1200 printer is not showing up on the Printers and
Faxes screen... only the HP 1300. Is there someway to
remove this printer from the list or should I just forget
about deleting the drivers?
Thank you.

Try rebooting the PC and then trying to delete them again.
