This is a real problem, because it looks like this is the driver that's hanging the logoff process for some of my user sesions making them unable to attache to the farm again until I reboot the RDSH servers or end their session winlogon process.
I know this thread has not been active for a while, but I have the same issue on a XenApp server. I have removed all the printers, rebooted the server, uses a driver removal tool from DYMO for the DYMO driver and it is stating that the driver is in use, same as the printer manager.
I suppose I can perform a brute force removal, but I'd really rather not. I've had similar issues with drivers. You literally have about a 1 second window for this. I get the printer manager up and the command prompt so I can see both on the screen. Get the box open where you can click 'Delete' for the driver and have that ready. At the command prompt, stop the spooler then get your mouse over the delete button for the driver. This almost always works but like I said, you have almost no time to wait.
If you pause for even two seconds, it will probably tell you the driver is in use. Move this windows to the left on the screen. You should see both windows at the same time. You will see: "The following driver s will be deleted". Now you have about 1. The Print Spooler service was stopped successfully. The Print Spooler service was started successfully.

We have a terminalserverfarm with 2 Servers and one ugly HP-Driver was not willing to be deleted.
This time it was successful. We're running R2 Terminal Server with Xen6. When stopping the spooler, and restarting, it is not yet accessing the registry and that's why you're then able to remove the driver package.
I managed to delete driver with these steps there were few print jobs on queue, on a faulty printer driver :. In R2, this is gone. It's moved. It's missing from the server. I can't find anywhere to manage this without installing the print server role. This is not a print server it's just a session host server. If you stop the print spooler service you won't be able to see the drivers from Print Management. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro?
