deleting the printers does not delete the drivers. Do any of the once
installed printers have a ink monitor of some other hooks to the spooler?

Printers folder , File , Server Properties, Drivers
will show you the drivers installed


If you had a Canon, HP, Epson, Lexmark setup program to install the driver,
make sure you run the uninstall application for the driver
