That's what I suspected when I Googled for:

prndrv.exe os/2

and the os2bbs showed up. :-)

It should go without saying, but to avoid non-recoverable problems when
using unfamilar tools a known good Desktop backup is advised.

For the technically included, prndrv deletes printer object related
entries found in OS2SYS.INI. The reason prvdrv exists is that the WPS
does not always completely delete all remnants of a printer object and no
one ever paid IBM enough to fix the defect.

Prndrv does a substring match to select the printer data to delete, so one
needs to exercise some care when entering match strings for the -d option.

Regards,

Steven
