Uninstalling the Printer Software
Uninstalling the printer driver
You may need to uninstall your printer driver if you:
Upgrade your computer’s operating system.
Update your printer driver with a newer version except when updating through your printer driver’s update function; the function uninstalls the older version automatically.
Have a problem with the printer driver.
If you are upgrading your operating system or updating the printer driver version, be sure to uninstall the current printer driver before upgrading or installing the new driver. Otherwise, the driver update will not work.
