How to remove a printer from Windows

Cancel a print document

When interacting with the devices that we have installed on our equipment, it is always advisable to try to have only those that we have connected to our team, eliminating all those that are no longer connected to our equipment, either because they have stopped working or we have disconnected them forever.

Windows registers all the devices that we have connected to our computer, so that when we have to use them, we just have to turn them on and that's it. no need to install drivers and others again. If you think that the time has come to clean the device that you do not use, I invite you to continue reading.

Printers are one of the elements, especially if we work in an office, the elements whose life cycle, usually short (depending on the quality of it) so you probably find yourself with more than one printer when printing a document. To avoid waiting forever for the document to appear on a printer that does not exist, the best we can do is remove it from the devices configured and available on our computer.
