I was able to do all but Step 4...? Look at the Toolbar. Select File, then
Server Properties. Look in the Drivers tab. Highlight the printers drivers
listed here and click on Remove for each one. -------It wont let me delete
the driver --it tells me it is currently in use and can not be deleted...?
