super impressed! I spent over one hour trying to delete a shared printer that showed up in the printer's list during printing but doesn't show in the printers' list in the settings. I went through at least 10 troubleshooting tips by various websites and Microsoft itself. Didn't do it and couldn't do it until I found your video! Thank you! and instant sub'd!

I cannot find print management section in my windows 10 Home 20H2 (Build 19402.870) version. Maybe older versions of windows 10 this way if affectable.But in my laptop didnt work.
Thank you for your video.

I cant even find print management in the drop down :/

If windows 10 users can’t find the drop box print management then search printer and scanner in search panel you can see the devices you are connected with you can remove it now with the right click thanks !!

Hey thanks for this video! I've been trying to uninstall some HP print services from my computer (I have an ASUS motherboard so anything from HP had to be from the printer I connected to). It was about 4-5 services including this I.R.I.S OCR application but when I got to the last one- HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z it won't uninstall. I also can't find it through mmc, I only see the ones you have there (I restarted the spooler but still nothing)... The reason I want to uninstall it is because I don't use a printer anymore and disabling the services from the firewall didn't work as they reconnected once I accessed the firewall. I'm just trying to have a good ping and having all these services connecting to the internet doesn't help :(

Problem for me is that I dont have a print manager in my snap-in menu. Also I dont have spooler in my services menu.

When trying to remove an old printer driver in server 2019 i get the error "driver is in use" so it won;t let me delete it, but none of my printers are using that driver.

Thanks a lot. I tried to uninstall HP LaerJet P1102w, but neither windows uninstaller nor third party programs did not handle the task that seems to be an essential system feature. Spent several days being anxious I couldn’t print wirelessly (only USB worked).
I begin to believe such difficulties are done by purpose by producers to buy new devices

[connorkenway]

Bro i uninstalled them to reinstall the driver, but the newly installed driver is not working. Any solution? I'm in dire need

I have a Devpro web bases printer that shows up when I want to print, how do I get rid of it?

[susyliz]

[tonysmith]

Is there a way to use the command line to remove the printer from windows and have the printer actually disappear from the list of printers?

[billnye]

Thank you, helped me remove stubborn drivers

[waelboutari]

Is there a way to install the driver back???

Thank you very much, it really works for me!

[filmatical]

[anandkumaresan]

[heyguide]
