How do you delete a printer installed on a network computer for all users?
Question : How do you delete a printer installed on a network computer for all users?
I have a network with 130 computers and I have certain network printers that need to be installed for every user on a workstation. For those of you who have dealt with this issue there is a great solution. You use the following command line script (rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ga /n) and it will install any printer that you choose. Here’s the problem. I want to delete a couple of the printers that I added but are no longer used. Is there a global way to delete a printer? Otherwise I have to go in as each user on each computer and delete it.

Unless you have remote management software installed across your network, you’ll have to go around and pull them all out individually. You could recruit a few ‘power users’ to help you out to minimize the # of machines that you need to touch.
First you need to have Permissions as a net-work administrator.Then you go to the Network and open the Printer module and deactivate the printer in question. simple as that!
