"Uninstall" Turboprint - how?


I needed a printer driver for my Canon Pixma iP5200, and can't seem to find the one previously recommended and installed, and can't remember the name - unless it was Turboprint. I installed the "free version" of Turboprint, but am disappointed in it. Since then, I've discovered Gutenprint, and have gotten it up and working with both the Canon and my vintage HP DJ1100, and am satisfied with it - as much as possible without some of the features of the native Windows Canon driver.

How do I uninstall the Turboprint driver? Since I installed it independently and not from Adept, it's not in the adept list.

Thanks!

Likely, you should stumble upon a script called "uninstall" by that.

robbbert...worked! I had a little trouble once I found the script because I didn't know how to run it, but after searching various places and floundering around some, I finally managed it and it uninstalled.

Thanks!
