Reference
- In Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, even if the printer driver is deleted using the preceding method, the
model information file will remain in the computer. For this reason, when reinstalling the same version
of the printer driver, the driver may not be rewritten. In this case, remove the following files as well.
- Check the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32e86" folder ("C:\WIN-
DOWS\system32\spool\drivers\e64" folder in the e64 system, and "C:\WINNT\system32\spool\driv-
ers\w32e86" folder in Windows 2000), and if there is a folder (file described in "oem*.inf" shown below
in Windows 2000) of the corresponding model, remove it. If more than one printer driver is installed, the
model information for all drivers is deleted. To leave other drivers, do not remove the folder.
- From the "C:\WINDOWS\inf" folder ("C:\WINNT\inf" folder in Windows 2000), remove "oem*.inf" and
"oem*.PNF" ("*" included in the file name indicates a number, which differs depending on the computer
environment).
Before removing these files, open the inf file, and then check the model name described on the last few
lines to confirm it is the file for the corresponding model. The number of the PNF file is the same as that
of the inf file.
- When you have deleted a file using [Remove driver and driver package.] or [Remove driver and driver
package.] in Windows Vista/Server 2008/7, this operation is not required.
