Remove/Uninstall Shared printers from Client computers

 

 

Make sure that the printer that is attempted to be removed is Not the Default printer.

 

In order to properly remove a Shared Black Ice Printer Driver from a client computer, on Windows 11 systems, go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > Click on the shared printer and click Remove.

 

 

On Windows Server, or Windows 10 or older Desktop Systems, go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > and right-click on the added printer and select the Remove Device option.
