Completely remove a printer driver when it does not work and does not reinstall

First, we remove the printer from the existing peripherals and uninstall any additional software packages.

In these early stages we leave the printer off so that it does not reconfigure on the fly when we have not yet finished deleting the old drivers.

Restart the computer to eliminate any use of the driver by the operating system

Go back to Control panel – Devices and Printers, select a printer and choose Print Server Properties

Let’s go to Driver and select the printer(s) we want to remove.

This will remove the printer driver completely.

Manual package removal.

Open a command prompt as administrator and type
pnputil.exe -e
followed by Enter.
The command is not available on Windows Xp but on all operating systems onwards.

Scroll through the list until you find the printer driver you want.

To this, again from the command prompt, type
pnputil.exe -d Oem#.inf
where # is the number indicated in the Published Name.

This will remove the printer driver completely.
