There was a problem cleaning Windows 7 print drives (HP 1214nfw MFP in my case). A simple howto:
- Stop Print Spooler service
- Go to C:\Windows\System32\Spool
- Create a BACKUP.YYYYMMDD folder
- Move Folders 'PRINTERS', 'PRTPROCS', 'SERVERS','TOOLS' here
- Go to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers and move everything except COLOR folder to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\ BACKUP.YYYYMMDD.
- Start Print Spooler service. It must start without errors now
- Run command line tool as administrator
- Run MMC from command line
- Add Print Manager snap-in
- Clear everything from here
- Stop Print Spooler service
- Run REGEDIT from command line window
- Navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control
- Export HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print to file (for backup)
- Navigate one by one HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Envinronments\(all branches)\Drivers\(all branches)\ and clear everything from here.
- Navigate one by one HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Envinronments\(all branches)\Print processors\ and clear everything except "winprint" from here.
- Navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors and clear everything except 'BJ Language monitor', 'Local Port','USB Monitor','Standard TCP\IP Port','PJL Language Monitor'
- Navigate to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers and clear everything here
- Close regedit
- Return from backup C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRTPROCS\(*)\winprint.dll on It's place
- Start Printer Spooler service.
