During the installation, PrnInst checks for applications that could lock the printer driver files and prevent the installation. The installation wizard displays locking applications.
Warning
You can't install, uninstall or upgrade locked drivers.
To unlock your printer driver:

-
Cancel the installation and restart your computer. After restarting, repeat the installation procedure.

If closing the application window has no effect, use Task Manager to end the tasks. See the examples below.
