| Like Gerald said, using the tdbtool is the way to go.

| Then with dump find the keys for your printers.
| The ones with W32X86 are for W2K/XP
| The ones with WIN40 are for WNT/9x/Me
| Example:
| If you wish to remove the win98 drivers for the printer prn1, you
would have

| delete DRIVERS/WIN40/0/HPLJ022
| Note: If the printer names has spaces you must escape it with \

no. actually that was not what I was saying :-)
I was saying to remove the printer entries that
had the driver assigned and then you can use rpcclient'
deldriverex command to remove the driver from the server.

The deldriverex command will remove the driver files from
[print$] as well.

But either way.




cheers, jerry
