delete old copies of printer?

I just downloaded a driver for Windows 10, which hopefully has fixed my wireless connection. Interestingly, the connection was fine after switching from Windows 8 until I installed a new modem from Comcast. (Also interestingly my computer is much slower with the new "faster" modem, but that's a question for Comcast.) Anyhow - I am now up to 5 copies of my Canon all-in-one when I look at the list of printers in Control Panel. Shoud I delete the older copies? Are they taking up unneeded space on my hard drive? Should I just leave them alone? Thanks...

Hello.

 

The extra copies most likely were added during installation attempts.  Delete any copies that do not communicate with the printer in order to avoid confusion.

They don't take up much space, but as Michael says delete all but the one that has the green default check mark.
