That is correct for windows 2000 servers but not NT 4.0 ones. Since he
didn't specify what OS he had, PDmanager is a safe bet and you can also use
it to delete drivers on any machine on your network by connecting remotely.

Also Another was I just found out to remover drivers from anything w2k
and up is to go to start, settings, printers, right click in the area,
choose server properties then go to the drivers tab and you can add and
remove drivers at will.

PDManager will delete the files and the drivers for you.
http://thethin.net/pdmanager.zip Go to http://www.printingsupport.com to
find out what to map the printer to.  I always reccomend using
Postscript
drivers if they are available over a PCL driver. They cause nothing but
headaches.

Here goes nothing...

   delete the 4050 and 4200 drivers from the server (check the registry
for
   file names).  Click on the your printers folder and then File,Server
   properties.  Remove the drivers from the registry there.  This will
not
   delete the files so you will have to manually delete them.  You amy
also
   need to stop the spooler service to do this.
   delete the drivers from the workstations (same process)
   reinstall the 4050
   Use a different driver for the 4200 (like an HP4)
   reconnect the workstations

I am at a complete loss.  We are running Corel WPO 9, SP4, on Citrix
Metaframe XPe, FR2

We use HP printers, using the Microsoft drivers for them.  On Thursday,
we installed a new HP4200n on the network, added the driver to the
citrix farm, and all hell has broken loose.

Users who print to the HP4050 PCL printer can now no longer print from
Corel.  In fact, they can't open their documents.  If they choose a
different printer for their default, they can open and Print. but not to
the 4050.  by the by... nobody can print to the 4200N either


I followed a bunch of stes suggested in the past, most of which were not
directly translatable to us, but I tried.  Any help would be welcome...
