Thanks for responding 🙂

 

I understand you're facing issue while uninstalling printer drivers: 

Let's try these steps before you uninstall printer driver: 

· Press “Windows key” + “r” to get the “Run” window.

· Type "services.msc" to get Services – Go to “Print spooler” – Right-click and “Stop” the service.

· Now again open "Run" - Type “spool” and ok - Go to PRINTERS folder - delete everything in that folder.

· Go to services again - Start the print spooler.

· Now check for issue resolution.

 

Once completed, try uninstalling drivers. If the issue persists, please create a new user account on your PC and install printer drivers: 

 

Let me know how this goes,

Cheers 🙂
