Hi,
I have been building and testing the HP UPD to minimise out print driver
footprint and save any issues when new printers are implemented.
It's all been running for a while now but what I really want to do now
is clean up all the unwanted drivers from my XenApp servers and then
push out the UPD + the 3 or 4 other drivers that had to remain for old
HP printers that were not supported but the UPD.
I have a manual process which involves manually deleting all the drivers
from the Print Server properties windows.
If some drivers do not remove I can go through the following :
* Stop the spooler service
* Open the registry
* Check which files are associated with the following printer keys
from:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\W
indows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3
* Make a note of the files associated with the printer
* Delete the key.
* Go to c:\WINNT\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\
* Delete the files that you have written down.
* Restart the spooler service
Is there a script or any easier way to do this, I also need to be able
to leave the Citrix UPD and PDF printer stuff behind as well.
Thanks
Ronnie
