Uninstalling the printer software

    (a user who belongs to the Administrators group).
  • To uninstall applications in Windows XP, it is necessary to log on with a Computer Administrator account. You cannot uninstall applications if you log on as a Limited account user.

Turn off the printer and disconnect the cable from the printer.
