Sometimes a Windows machine can hold on to a faulty or old driver even though you update the driver. This also becomes a problem when you have a Print Server and you updated the driver on the Server. In this case you need to remove the driver manually from the local machine. Once this is done, the Server driver will be automatically installed on the User machine at next logon.
