After you remove the drivers try a refresh in the CMC on that server (refresh printer and driver info after a right click) this does not always work (again its iffy). Next it's a restart of the IMA service to see if that does it.

I realize they are not authoritative but I would like to remove them, then get rid of all the drivers so I am starting with a "clean" print setup and then add the drivers that we need.

The list there is a list from the driver list on the member metaframe server. You can use a simple CMD script on the MF servers to delete drivers using Rundll32. Try this from run rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /? There are options to remove the drivers. You may want to generate a text file with all the drivers in the ntprint.inf or all the driver names you see in your farm. From that list run the command to remove that driver.

I'll give you a little background and then you can possibly direct me to an alternate solution as well. We are having issues with printing and citrix, I have imported print servers and set the replication to go to all servers. Out users access all servers for all programs, no silos therefore all drivers should be available on all servers. What we see is that server1 will have 32 drivers, server 14 has 37 drivers, others have different drivers. We ran into some issues with our print server and migrated to a different one, now what I want to do is to basically remove all drivers from the list that is maintained in Metaframe. Then I can either manually add the drivers from the print server or be brave and try importing the new print server. If I am going about this in the wrong way I am open to suggestions.

Are you looking to clear out the print driver list that shows up for a server?
