Not really. Denny's problem is he's trying to delete the printer driver
rather than the printer object. The WPS is doing to right thing by
preventing this. It's the equivalent of attempting to delete a directory
that contains files. You will get a warning, unless you have told the WPS
not to warn you.

What he should have done is shred the printer object, just like he would
have shreded any other object he no longer needed.

Prndrv is useful when there is corruption that prevents the normal shred
from working correctly. There does not appear to be any corruption in
this case.
