If removal says the driver is in use, restart the spooler first (net stop spooler / net start spooler) and try again immediately, or remove the printer queue first.

    ugh. my inkjet printer worked perfectly until upgrading to a new Windows version. now:

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    ive downloaded teh BJC-2000 Printer Driver package from Canon. before i install it a third time, Id like to understand why Windows keeps saying the driver is unavailable. is it a driver store thing, a permissions thing, or just a corrupted install? im fine using the command line if needed, just tell me what to look for so i dont delete the wrong thing.

    Remove the printer, then remove the driver package too: Printers & scanners > Print server properties > Drivers tab, seelct the driver, Remove > Remove driver and driver package. Then reboot and install fresh.
