Remove the Xerox Global Print Driver (X-GPD)

Open the Printers window.

CAUTION: All pending print jobs must be deleted from the print queue prior to removing the printer. If necessary, contact your System Administrator for assistance.

If the computer is connected to the printer via USB, disconnect the USB cable from the printer after all pending print jobs have been deleted before continuing with the steps below. Do not reconnect the USB cable to the printer until all of the steps below have been completed successfully.

For Windows XP, 2003, and Vista, right-click on the printer that is using the Xerox Global Print Driver (X-GPD) and then click on [Delete]. A confirmation message will be displayed. Click on [Yes].

For Windows 7 and 2008, right-click on the printer to be removed and then click on [Remove Device]. A confirmation message will be displayed. Click on [Yes].

NOTE: To delete the printer on a Windows Vista OS with User Access Control (UAC) enabled, right-click on the printer to be removed, select [Delete], select [Run as Administrator], and then click on [Continue].

Repeat step 2 to delete any other printer icons that use the X-GPD. Continue with step 4 after all printers that use the X-GPD have been deleted.
