打印机残留的驱动

Many printers have a driver or software component that is left on the system after the printer has been uninstalled or removed from the computer. This driver or software component is referred to as a “printer residue”.

A printer residue can occur if an incorrect method is used to uninstall the printer, such as using the Windows Control Panel to uninstall a printer that was originally installed using a manufacturer software installation disk. It can also occur if third-party uninstallers were used to remove the printer.

The most common way to detect and remove printer residue is to use a third-party utility program. These programs are designed to detect and remove any residual files or registry entries that were left behind after an uninstall. They can be used to scan the computer for any remaining drivers or software components related to the printer.

Once the printer residue has been detected, it can be safely removed using the utility program. It is important to note that some third-party utility programs may delete driver files or registry entries associated with other printers, so it is important to only use a reputable and reliable program to remove the printer residue.

After the printer residue has been removed, the computer can then be restarted and any remaining printers associated with the computer should be reinstalled. It is also important to ensure that any other software components that are associated with the printer are also reinstalled to ensure that the printer functions correctly.

It is important to remember that it is possible for a printer residue to occur even if the correct method of uninstalling the printer was followed. If a printer residue is detected, it is important to use a reliable third-party utility program to safely remove the printer residue. Once the residue has been removed, the computer can be restarted and any remaining printers associated with the computer should be reinstalled.
