Does anyone know a command or script where you can remotely delete a printer from a computer?
Or you know what, not even remotely, locally.

delete a printer? In XP just go to printers and faxes, click, and delete. 7 i believe you have to go into something like devices... don't remember how exactly to get to is as I'm not home.

Should be a simple and straightforward process.

Xp will automatically try and install the printer too if you reconnect it... but why would you connect a printer to a pc and NOT want it installed?
