Unable to Uninstall Lexmark X75 Printer

Hello All,

Hoping I can receive some help. I have a MacBook Pro with Leopard/MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8).

I am trying uninstall the Lexmark X75 and it is not going away. The printer is still listed under 'Printer.'

I have tried contacting Lexmark and their directions were useless. Per their directions, I clicked on the Uninstall in the Lexmark All in One folder, but after the unintallation was 'complete,' a window popped up stating that not all files were removed and they had to be removed manually.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of Lexmark X75 completely?

Thank you in advance. Please let me know if you need further information.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Thanks.

Which files would that be?

Would I delete the folder Macintosh HD>Library>Printers>Lexmark OR Macintosh HD>Users>'user'>Library>Printers>Lexmark All in One.app?

Go to "Print and Scan" in System Preferences. Press, "Control", and click on the printer on the left side. A dialog box will open. Click on "Reset Printing System".

This will delete that printer from your system completely.

Thank you!!

It got rid of all my printers, but no big deal. At least the Lexmark is gone!

Thanks again for your help.

My apologies. I had assumed we were only dealing with one printer. Click the "+" symbol at the bottom left of the aforementioned settings window to add the other printers back.

Thank you for the star!
