When manually removing printer drivers with PS 4.0, can you remove all
drivers except for the UPD's? In previous versions of PS, I know it
emulated another driver (e.g. HP Color Laserjet 4500) and didn't know if you
could delete these drivers as well while still keeping the UPD intact.
Thanks in advance.

Yea the problem with that is, it would nuke the UPD's as well. I don't want
that too happen. thanks everyone, I'm going to go with Philip's nice simple
plan. I will keep these others in mind though (especially this one) if I
ever need to start it over though. All great information!

there's also cleanspl from the windows 2003 resource kit -
Spooler Cleaner (CleanSpl) is a GUI tool that restores the print spooler to
its original state. It deletes all print jobs, printers, printer drivers,
and spool files on a specified local or remote server.
