Confirmed on Jeannie's PC that MS Office no longer lists the "printers" from failed attempts at setting up the print queues for the PC.
In the process, found another failed print queue attempt, "Xerox WorkCentre 5335 - DC2325"
- Jeannie asked for help with a Firefox print problem.
- She kept getting an error when trying to print to the networked printer in her office.
- The name for the properly working queue for this printer is "scsadmin-dc2325 Xerox WorkCentre 5335"
- Jeannie can print from Firefox successfully when using the "scsadmin-dc2325 Xerox WorkCentre 5335" printer.
Removed the non-functioning printer, "Xerox WorkCentre 5335 - DC2325"
PS C:\Users\TEMP> Remove-Printer -name "Xerox WorkCentre 5335 - DC2325" -ComputerName scspc602.cs.uwaterloo.ca
Verified, via PowerShell, that the "printer", "Xerox WorkCentre 5335 - DC2325" no longer appears on scspc602.
