Can't delete printer

[Jim Gainsley]

I can't delete a printer connectoid. I get the message, "Printer name typed
incorrectly or server connection lost". The printer is no longer installed
in the network. It was installed as a printer connected to a former
computer. However, the name of the former computer was assumed by a newer
machine. I think I need to manually delete the elements, can someone give
me the registry keys? (Printer name is: "EPSON2550 on Jim".)

I have no clue about deleting it from the registry but have you tried in safe
mode?

Before you go into the registry, make sure there are no jobs still in
the printer's queue. That is the most common reason for a printer to
refuse to delete.
