Today, I encountered a problem when deleting the Zebra printer driver in the printer driver of the management tool.

“Failed to remove driver ZDesigner ZT210-300dpi ZPL. Failed to remove package zdesigner.inf. Driver package is in use.”

Restart, delete the printer, restart the printer service… After trying various methods, it still failed.

Finally, the problem was solved by changing the registry.

1. Stop the printer service

2. Enter the registry

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Print Processors

3. Rename all subfolders under the print processors file to + .Old (winprint.Old) after the folder name,

4. Go back to [print management] in [administrative tools] and delete the printer driver

5. Change the file name in the registry back

6. Restart the printer service
