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".)

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.
