Environment
Using any Seagull printer driver.
Fix/Answer
There maybe some leftover Seagull printer driver .inf files still existing in the driver store on the system preventing new Seagull printer drivers from being installed. To correct the issue, do the following:
- Open the Windows Command prompt as adminstrator
- Run the command pnputil -e
- This will list all of the .ini files that reside in the store, it would look similar to this:
- Remove all the .inf files that are labeled "Seagull"
- To remove the file(s), use the command pnputil -d <published name>.inf
- Try using the Seagull Driver Wizard to install the printer again after removing the package
