XP PRO - 'Deleting Printer - Offline' Message

A XP PRO computer attached to a network is having a problem deleting one of
the printers on the network.

The printer was attached to another workstation (Windows 95), was physically
removed as well as in its control panel as a shareable resource.
Then, when I tried to delete it from the XP PRO computer, it displays as
'Offline and deleting' as well as being greyed-out.
Rebooting the computer does not help.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions
 
It may be due to a persistent connection remaining on the XP machine.
(especially if it was printing to DOS sessions)


At a DOS prompt, type:

NET USE [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]] [/USER:[domainname\]username]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]
