The DeletePrinterDriver function removes the specified printer-driver name from the list of names of supported drivers for a server.

BOOL DeletePrinterDriver(

LPTSTR pName,	// pointer to server name
LPTSTR pEnvironment,	// pointer to environment
LPTSTR pDriverName	// pointer to driver name
);

Parameters
pName

Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the server from which the driver is to be deleted. If this parameter is NULL, the printer-driver name will be removed locally.

pEnvironment

Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the environment from which the driver is to be deleted (for example, "Windows NT x86", "Windows NT R4000", "Windows NT Alpha_AXP", or "Windows 4.0"). If this parameter is NULL, the driver name is deleted from the current environment of the calling application and client machine (not of the destination application and print server).

pDriverName

Points to a null-terminated string specifying the name of the driver that should be deleted.

Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks
The DeletePrinterDriver function does not delete the associated files, it merely removes the driver name from the list returned by the EnumPrinterDrivers function.
