If you have installed your driver from a standalone installator, we recommend you to **Remove driver and driver package**. If you have simply selected the driver from a list offered by Windows when installing the printer, we recommend you to **Remove driver only**.

If you are trying to remove the driver without removing the printer beforehand, or the driver is used also by another printer than the one you removed, the system won't allow you to remove the driver.

If you resolved the previous problem or you haven't encountered it, you will be prompted to confirm your action when proceeding with **Remove driver and driver package** (or **Remove driver only**).
