How do I remove printer drivers in Windows 7 without print managem

Jorgen

Background:

Installed a network printer on a new laptop that bluescreened, now I can't
access the print properties atc without getting an error and can't get to
print preferences at all.

I have reinstalled, removed, installed this printer half a dozen times after
this but even choosing to replace printer driver doesn't help at all. The
obvious next step is to remove the driver itself but I have found no way of
doing this on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit since printmanagement.msc isn't
available (and copying the file from another machine just yields an error
message from mmc, cannot install snap-in).

Question:

Is there a way to run print management on Home Premium or do I have to edit
the registry directly? If I do have to edit the registry under which keys do
I find print queue/driver information?

I've spent quite a few hours looking for a solution online but except for
the odd fact that people upgrading from RC seem to have access to
printmanagement even on Premium(???) I have had no luck. Any suggestions
would be helpful.

Best Regards,

Jorgen
