I agree.....so does this mean I have to move on to a networking forum for help....?

I am trying to completely remove printer. I have deleted from network, then i go to devices and printers on my pc and highlight the epson and "remove device". It looks LIKE its removed so i close that window and immediately re-open "devices and printers" and the epson is back again

here is the eset

ok, i was able to FIRST go into router and delete the printer from the ip address distribution list. It was at 192.168.1.2.
Next, I was able to go into "uninstall a program" on pc and delete all 6 or 7 epson entries.
I then rebooted pc, while pc was rebooting i actually turned off the printer, then went back into the router and the printer is not in the ip distribution list but the ip address 192.168.1.2 is in my network table and says ip address allocation is static, mac address is the printer mac address, printer is still turned off.
Seems weird...how can i get rid of this so i can START from scratchQuote
