Opps. Yes I was going to get back and complete this and was distracted as
we moved to a new building.

If you just need to delete the printer

net stop spooler

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Printname

Net start spooler


If you would like to remove drivers , ports, and printers. Download the
Windows Resource kit and get cleanspl.exe. Read through the prompts DO NOT
delete the Standard TCP/IP Port monitor.

If you need to clean up software from a printer vendor, there is usually
vendor uninstall software that can be downloaded to accomplish this.
