Reference
- In Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, even if the printer driver is deleted using the preceding method, the
model information file will remain in the computer. For this reason, when reinstalling the same version
of the printer driver, the driver may not be rewritten. In this case, remove the following files as well.
– Check the "C:\\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86" folder (for the x64 system,
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\x64" folder, for Windows 2000,
"C:\WINNT\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86" folder), and if there is a folder of the corresponding model
(file described in "oem*.inf" shown below in Windows 2000), remove it. However, if multiple drivers are
installed including the PCL KONICA MINOLTA driver, PostScript KONICA MINOLTA driver and fax
driver, the model information of all drivers is deleted. To leave drivers other than the fax driver, do not
remove the folder.
– From the "C:\WINDOWS\inf" folder (for Windows 2000, "C:\WINNT\inf" folder), remove "oem*.inf" and
"oem*.PNF" ("*" included in the file name indicates a number, which differs depending on the computer
environment).
Before removing these files, open the inf file, and then check the model name described on the last few
lines to confirm it is the file for the corresponding model. The number of the PNF file is the same as that
of the inf file.
– In Windows Vista/Server 2008, this operation is not required if you have selected "Remove driver and
driver package.".
