    Can't delete printer from system

    I bought a new printer and am attempting to "remove" the old one. By
    "remove" I mean I do not want it as an option on the print screen,
    which also contains One Note and Microsoft XPS Document Writer.

    I tried a right click and choosing delete but it never gets deleted,
    although in the print selection screen if it is highlighted it shows
    below that it is "Deleting - Offline".

    It has been in this state for 2 days now. Just won't go away.



    Thanks for any help.

    It is ignorant, and a waste of our time, when you multi-post.
