Hi all,
My computer system is: Desktop Computer system.
AMD Phenom (tm) II X 4 965 Processor 3.40 GHz
ASRock 96OGM- GS3 FX Motherboard
6GB DDR3 1333Mhz DRAM
ATI HD 5670 51MB GDDR5 DVI VGA HDMI Out Graphics
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Operating System

I had a Samsung Laser printer installed, and have just replaced it
with a Brother's one.

I used Samsung's uninstall method, but the printer still shows in the
control panel, if I remove it is back on the next re boot!

Can I remove this icon?

Mick.

I have used this utility for some years and it is really very good in
removing all of the printer driver

Thank you very much, that did it, another annoyance gone :)

Keep the Printer Deleter in your toolbox.
It is great for removing printer drivers completely from your computer.
Most Os's do not do so.
It will also work from a memory stick too

Thanks for info for the Printer Deleter program.
Just tried it on a couple of my machines and it works great.
