Can’t Delete printer: This Operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer

[white_snow_888888]

Hello

Our Company has a Hp LaserJet professional M1132 MFP.

The Name that shared for all computers was “Hp LaserJet professional M1132 MFP (Copy 3) on Server”

This printer had been shared for all our network computers until I Formatted the computer that connected to the printer as a print server.

After Installing the Operating system(windows 10), I shared the printer with the name “Hp LaserJet professional M1132 MFP on Server” on the network.

All of the computers have the old printer name and can’t delete the old driver. On the other hand, When I connect the computers to the new printer, They work without any problems. But when I restart any computers, the new driver is erased and only the old driver remains(Hp LaserJet professional M1132 MFP (Copy 3) on Server).

I saw This post: Remove Printers in Windows 10

But I can’t find the NoDeletePrinter key in registry.

And I can’t find the Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> Control Panel –> Printers, and then double-click “Prevent deletion of printers” in Windows 2012R2

I Used the printui /s /t2 to delete the driver but I couldn’t.

And I applied HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers

and deleted the printer but nothing happened.

What Should I do?
