How Can I Completely Remove a Network Printer?
Asked by

I'm trying to figure out how to completely remove a network printer from my system. My computers and phones are all powered down, and I've already uninstalled everything related to the printer from my desktop, which was the original source. However, when I check the "Network" section in File Explorer, the printer still appears there. Despite the printer being turned off and disconnected from Wi-Fi, there are no Ethernet or USB cables attached, yet I still can't seem to remove it from the network in Explorer.

If the printer is hardwired, simply unplug the Ethernet cable. For wireless, go into the printer settings and disconnect it from the network.

Try turning off the printer's Wi-Fi or unplugging its Ethernet cable altogether. That should help clear it from the network listing.
