Search for and delete registry keys for redirected printers

Hello,

We are using windows 2008 terminal server.  We also use Quattro Pro.  When I look at the printer list when printing in Quattro Pro it contains redirected printers that are no longer available. It looks like QP is getting its printer list from the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CURRENTVERSION\DEVICES

There are a bunch of printers in that location that look like this:

HP Laserjet 6 (redirected 4)
HP Laserjet 6 (redirected 5)
etc...

In the list are also the valid printers installed on the terminal server.  Is there a way to delete those redirected printers from that registry location via the logon script?

Thanks,
Bonnie
