How to manually remove a printer driver in the Windows operating system. After uninstalling or deleting a printer, the driver for it is not fully uninstalled.Solution:
- Look in Programs and Features and uninstall any program that correlates to the printer driver to be removed.
- Open Devices and Printers and if still present, remove the printer driver by right-clicking it and choosing 'Remove device.'
To completely remove printer driver files from a system:
- Open the Print Server Properties dialog window by doing one of the following:
- Click the Start menu and in the search field type printui /s /t2 and then press Enter or click it in the search list.
- Press WINDOWS-R on the keyboard to bring up the Run window, type in printui /s /t2 and then press Enter or click OK.
- Press the WINDOWS key on the keyboard to display the Start screen, type in printui /s /t2 and then click it in the search list.
- From the Start menu or the Start screen:
- Open Devices and Printers.
- Select any printer and then click 'Print server properties' at the top of the window.
- Click on the Drivers tab.
- For Windows XP systems:
- Click Start > Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.
- Click the File menu and choose 'Server Properties.'
- Click on the Drivers tab.
- Select the printer driver to uninstall.
- Click the Remove button.
- Select 'Remove driver and driver package' and click OK.
If a message appears about access denied or the printer being in use and the driver or any installed program is not found that would account for this, restart the computer. If the driver still will not remove, restart the computer in a diagnostic startup and then use the printui /s /t2 command to remove the driver package(s) (see Use Windows diagnostic mode to troubleshoot issues with Autodesk software). Restart back to normal mode before installing the printer again.

No Internet & No Drivers after a Fresh Install of Windows OS
“My laptop had a virus so I installed a new fresh version of Windows 7, now that is done I quickly realize that I can't access the Internet due to there being no drivers installed. The wireless drivers and every other Internet driver are not installed. I am trying to install from USB stick but not installing, please tell me what should I do?' --- Quoted from Spice Community
This is not a rare problem. A majority of users who do a clean install of Windows ever encountered this embarrassing situation: no Internet connection on the computer. Lots of users can't access the Internet after reinstalling Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Windows XP, and if you've updated to the new Windows 10, you've probably got this no Internet issue. 'How to check my computer to install Lan driver? How to solve and prevent this problem?' This is what I will demonstrate today in this article.
