I bought a new printer that ready to install to my PC. Everytime I request to print a file, it prompt out a message and ask me to select which printer to print. And this is annoying. So, is there any other way that I away from that annoying message prompt out. And if I'm not mistaken that the old printer driver is still inside my OS. So, any other way to uninstall the old printer driver? Thank You.

This works for Windows 9x and NT...
Click on start. Go to Settings. Froim the menu that appears, click on printers.
In the window that appears, you will see the printers you have installed. Right click the one you want to remove then select deletefrom the menu. Windows will take care of the rest.

I assume (because you didn't say) The new printer's driver is NOT part of your operating system CD, and you did load the new driver when you connected the printer???

If not, that is your problem BUT if you did and you keep getting prompted to select a printer it is because none are set as a Default printer. You can also set the default printer by right clicking its logo and checking "Set as Default".
