We just bought a new wireless printer, and I want to uninstall the old one. After looking at the logical places on our iMac, I'm at a loss as to where to look. It's an Epson Stylus and I did not use a disk to install it, just a USB cable. To keep things simple for the rest of the family,I would like only one printer option to show up, versus two.
Thanks for any help.

You can delete it by going to System Preferences, Print & Fax. Your printer should be listed on the left side of the screen. All you have to do is select it and then click the minus button at the bottom of the screen to delete it.

Awsome. Thanks. Sometimes I feel really stupid yet, with this machine. I was trying to right click and all that stuff that I am still used to with a pc.

Anyway, thanks again.

Hi there,
You can emulate a right click on Apple's rodents, by pressing the ctrl key when you click on the item - this will enable a contextual menu.

Other than that, you can use a standard two button USB mouse to get the right click functionality.

Hope this info helps.
