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\w32e86" folder ("C:\WIN-
DOWS\system32\spool\drivers\e64" folder in the e64 system, and "C:\WIN-
NT\system32\spool\drivers\w32e86" folder in Windows 2000), and if there is a folder (file described
in "oem*.inf" shown below in Windows 2000) of the corresponding model, remove it.

From the "C:\WINDOWS\inf" folder ("C:\WINNT\inf" folder in Windows 2000), 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, 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 7/Vista/Server 2008, this operation is not necessary if you have selected [Remove driver
and driver package.].
