  12. I am trying to delete the driver for NECSilentwriter 95, a PostScript
  13. driver, and am having difficulty making it disappear.
  14.  
  15. I had 2 print objects, one using IBMNULL driver, the other the NEC
  16. PostScript driver. Drivers appeared in the printer
  17. object/settings/print driver for null, Silentwriter 90, and generic
  18. PostScript.
  19.  
  20. I have deleted the object from the workplace shell, deleted the *.drv
  21. files, in fact deleted the \os2\dll\pscript *directory* and started
  22. over.
  23.  
  24. I then dragged a new printer object from the template folder. Lo and
  25. behold, those drivers that I deleted *still* appear in the
  26. settings/print driver window!
  27.  
  28. Furthermore, DeScribe 3.0 BoldGold demo, in its printer window, is
  29. recognizing only the NECSilentwriter driver, though it *should* have
  30. been deleted.
  31.  
  32. Have I been drinking too much? What am I missing?
