Okay, as you have now indicated older files from other printers, make sure
to clean them up as well. You MAY find them listed in the INF\OTHER folder
as well.
Any *branded* software [device specific] may need removed also.
IF you have difficulties, you can try this:
Open the INFs found related to these printers and failed installations in a
text editor and look for the files and registry settings which were
used/installed for that device. Carefully remove/move those files and
registry settings [export prior to removal] to a temporary folder and watch
for errors occurring. IF no errors after a few days or a week of regular
usage, you can likely delete them. DO NOT remove files related to standard
Windows files [like mfc**, com**, odb**, ole**, std**, sti**, etc.], other
files should/must be checked by at least using Properties [or preferably
File Investigator, FileAlyzer, or some other like tool] *prior* to removal
and/or deletion.
Any questions or doubts on whether a file or registry setting is safe to
delete should be checked on the NET or in here.
