HT1341 How do I uninstall old print drivers on Mac OS 10.6.8?

After installing the latest driver, the old one is still there.

In Library/Printers/Lexmark/Drivers there is a file called Lexmark Printer Utility which apparently is the print driver. I'm wondering if I should delete a folder entitled '2007' which is located at Library/Printers/Lexmark/2007. The 2007 folder also contains a Lexmark Printer Utility and also contains a file called 'LexmarkCUPSDriver'. Lately my printing problem has been this: I try to print and the printer does not respond even though the print job shows up in the print queue as printing. For a short time in the print queue window an error message appears which says: "LexmarkCUPSDriver failed to read raster data", after which both the error message the print job disappear from the queue.

  • How can I uninstall Xerox print drivers and then reinstall them again

    Somehow I installed the wrong print drivers for our xerox printers running on the latest version of leopard and installing the correct driver doesn't seem to solve the problem. I want to remove all xerox driver files and reinstall the correct version of the driver.

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

  • I have purchased a new printer.  It is the same make as my old printer.  How do I remove the old printer from my Mac?

    I have purchased a new printer.  It is the same make as my old printer.  How do I remove the old printer from my Mac?

    you could see if that make of printer has an uninstaller (may come with the installer)
    or go to preferences, print and fax, and press the minus key   (  -   ) which should maybe remove it. Or ,do a a find, then type in the make of printer, and anything that looks like a printer driver for that make, well, maybe it's gotta go
    just an idea

  • How can I get a Print Screen on Mac?

    How can I get a Print Screen on Mac?

    There is no direct way to print the screen in OS X.
    What you can do -
    Take a screenshot of the screen. Press Command-Shift-3 and a picture of the screen's contents will be taken, then placed as a type .png image file on the Desktop. You can then open that image in Preview by double-clicking the image file, and print it from Preview.
    Other screenshot commands -
    Command-Shift-4 changes the cursor to a crosshair. Drag that to enclose just the part of the screen that you want to capture, and release. The image file created will include only the part of the screen selected.
    Command-Shift-4 followed by pressing the Spacebar will change the cursor to a glyph of a camera. Click this in a specific window, such as a doc window, pulldown or popup menu, etc., and just that window will be included in the screensot.
    Command-Shift-Control-3 and Command-Shift-Control-4 will take their respective screenshots but place the result on the Clipboard rather than generating an image file on the Desktop. This image on the clipboard can then be pasted into a document of your choice.

    I have a Toshiba; running Windows 8:
    My laptop wasn't recognizing my HP Photosmart C309g Scanner for some reason. Although I could print, I need the scanner, so I decided to uninstall/reinstall everything. 
    Perhaps I uninstalled the wrong feature first, but whatever happened, my laptop had a hiccup & windows wouldn't load.  I used the onboard problem solving feature and windows did reload. 
    I returned to my efforts to reinstall the printer drivers (using the CD), but when the Setup window appears,  the Install option doesn't appear.  I only have the option to Exit the software setup window. 
    Does this mean there are still remnants of the previous installation?  In the Programs and Features list, there are remants (HP Cust Part Program; HP Imaging Device Functions; and HP Solution Ctr, all of which were installed at the same time as the printer driver.   Nothing happens when I right click to uninstall or double click on it to uninstall. 
    Any suggestions?  Thank you!

    hopefully experts in the community can lend me a hand, thanks alot

    The alerts are caused by the built-in firewall. If you're on a private network behind a router, the firewall serves no purpose and you should disable it. Otherwise, see below.
    Please open the Security & Privacy preference pane and select the Firewall tab. Click the lock icon to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the button marked
              Firewall Options...
    In the sheet that opens, the box marked
              Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections
    should be checked.
    If the applications that you're having trouble with is on the list above that checkbox and is blocked, change the setting to
              Allow incoming connections
    If the application is not on the list, add it with the same setting.
    If it's already on the list and already allowed, delete the entry, then add it back.
    Click OK. Test. If there's no change, ask for further instructions.

  • How do you reinstall just print drivers in Leopard?

    I just began using my MacBook Pro running Leopard with an Epson Sylus Photo 2200. I am having trouble printing with it. I made the mistake of using the disc that came with the printer to install print drivers to my Mac. I am unable to print most of the time from most applications. Epson's web support says Leopard has the drivers already built in. Did I over write the drivers when I installed the old ones from the disc? And if so can I reinstall Leopard's Epson drivers without having to reinstall Leopard completely? Thanks in advance for you help.
    Steve

    you are right, I forgot about that. this is definitely easier. to elaborate on john's post. insert the leopard install DVD open it in finder and double-click on optional installs->optional installs.mpkg. follow the instructions. on the screen with the choice of software to install choose printer drivers.
