cannot do it because it is in use

Any ideas on h ow to delete it?

Have tried stopping and starting spooler but does not work, also tried
prndrvr.vbs and still says it is in use

remove a printer driver without having to recreate 600 quueues

It has been my experience that you cannot delete a driver if an installed
printer is using that driver. My guess is that you need to delete the
printer
using that driver frist, then delete the driver. Just a thought.
