  • Then press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" and press enter.
  • Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.

I forgot to mention that I have run the print/scan doctor multiple times and uninstalled and reinstalled the software.

However, I am grateful for the additional steps which I never would have thought of myself. I will try them out when I get the time and status you accordingly. Again, thank you very much.
