I am having printing problems and I want to try to remove everything in the
registry that has to do with this printer so i can try to reinstall the
printer like from scratch. Where is it is the registry? Thanks

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers

Each individual printer will have a key below the key
above. However, removing the Registry key doesn't
guarantee that all of the associated keys are removed.
Unless you are well versed in Registry editing, I would
just uninstall the Printer and it's software from Control
Panel's Add/Remove applet. As always export the keys
before modifying or removing them.
