                    Hello @CN436DS0J5,

 

ust uninstall the printer by deleting it, first in Programs and Features. Then to delete the name of your printer in Program and Program (X86), to delete it in the control panel (Right click on the icon of your printer, Delete) if it is still there. Restart the computer. There is nothing left of your printer in your computer.
Apart from a few keys in the registry.
