Dear Misha Bell,

Here is the permanent solution for your issue. You just want to do simple steps:

Open your ‘control panel’ and then open ‘printers and faxes’ icon.

Select ‘Tools’ in menu and select ‘Folder Options’.

After opening ‘Tools’, press ‘View’ Tab and uncheck “Automatically search for network folders and printers” and press ‘Apply’ then press ‘OK’.

Now restart your system. Hope your issue will be resolved after this. Remember, before doing this steps, delete all four printer first which you did not want to see in your attached printer list.

How to permanently delete printer list on my Win Vista

Regardless of what version of Microsoft Windows you are using, here’s how to properly remove printers on your computer. First, you need to remove or uninstall the printer software you installed for the printer to remove the driver from your computer. Download the free version of Revo Uninstaller and install it. Once installed, start Revo Uninstaller then select your printer software among the applications and click “Uninstall”.

Follow the normal uninstall process. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click to restart later. When uninstall is complete, click “Scan” to scan your computer for any leftover files and delete everything it finds. This removes everything the program created on your computer. When it is finished, close Revo Uninstaller then restart the computer. After booting, click “Start” then “Control Panel”.

On the next screen, set “View by” located on the upper right corner of the screen to “Small icons” to view all settings. Click “Devices and Printers” then on the next screen under “Printers and Faxes” section, see if the printer you removed still appears. If the printer is still there, right-click the printer and select “Remove device”.

After this, click on any printing device to display the additional menus and click “Print server properties”.

In “Print Server Properties” window, go to “Drivers” tab and select the printer you want to remove. Click “Remove”.

Click “OK” all throughout then restart the computer.
