Thanks for sharing. Before I went through and started deleting registry info, I skipped to steps 8 and 9. I launched command, stopped the spooler then started the spooler. All printer info came back.

Your solution to this problem worked for me too. Thanks mate. I almost went insane because of this issue. I hope the Gurus at MS will note your solution to the problem.
