I am trying to delete the driver for NECSilentwriter 95, a PostScript driver, and am having difficulty making it disappear. I had 2 print objects, one using IBMNULL driver, the other the NEC PostScript driver. Drivers appeared in the printer object/settings/print driver for null, Silentwriter 90, and generic PostScript. I have deleted the object from the workplace shell, deleted the *.drv files, in fact deleted the \os2\dll\pscript *directory* and started over. I then dragged a new printer object from the template folder. Lo and behold, those drivers that I deleted *still* appear in the settings/print driver window! Furthermore, DeScribe 3.0 BoldGold demo, in its printer window, is recognizing only the NECSilentwriter driver, though it *should* have been deleted. Have I been drinking too much? What am I missing? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rwyble@schunix.uucp Richard J.
