Hello,
We are trying to accomplish removing a driver package from the driver store with PS. Manually in the print management applet we would highlight the driver and select "Remove Driver Package". This does what we need, however we want to accomplish this for 100's of servers. When we use this PS cmd, it does not remove the files located in: C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3, when we manually remove the driver package it removes the manufacture files. Here is the cmd we are using:
PS C:\windows\system32> Remove-PrinterDriver -Name "Xerox*" -RemoveFromDriverStore PS C:\windows\system32> Remove-PrinterDriver : Access was denied to the specified resource. At line:1 char:1+ Remove-PrinterDriver -Name "Xerox*" -RemoveFromDriverStore+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ CategoryInfo : PermissionDenied: (MSFT_PrinterDri... "Windows x64"):ROOT/StandardCimv2/MSFT_PrinterDriver) [Remove-PrinterDriver ], CimException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80070005,Remove-PrinterDriver PS C:\windows\system32> Remove-PrinterDriver -Name "Xerox*" -RemoveFromDriverStore PS C:\windows\system32>
The above fails for xerox (with DA), but seems to actually work. Can you let me know what we are missing for the Ricoh package?
Thanks
Pete
