I have a win95 machine with a network printer installed that isnt on the network anymore. When I click on the printer to delete it, an error comes up and I have to click oK to continue. When I click ok the screen closes and takes me back to the desktop not allowing me to delete this printer. Is there a way to delete this printer through the command prompt? or any ideas on deleting it through windows?

Can you respond back with more specifics? What kind of printer? Are you using the drivers supplied by Windows or from a driver disc that came with the printer? Is the printer installed with a helper app or is it just the drivers alone? What kind of machine is the network printer on, or is the printer connected directly to the network thru its own interface? What exactly does the error say?
