Remove old Canon print queues from macOS or Windows

How to delete or remove queues that are no longer used, that had gone to old Canon printers

With the roll-out of Xerox printers, users will not need their old Canon queues. For University-managed staff and faculty computers, the PaperCut Print Deploy client will take care of installing the new UMS-FindMe queue. Personally owned devices will receive their UMS-BYOD-FindMe queue through the Mobility Print client. Neither of these will remove old Canon queues, so they will need to be manually removed.

Instructions 

Remove old queues from a Windows computer

1. In the Windows Search bar, type Printers, Select Printers & Scanners
2. Select the printer queue to be removed from the list
3. Click the button Remove device
