Printer does not show in Devices and Printers

Printer does not appear in Devices and Printers BUT DOES appear in list when choosing from program.

It appears in the list as (COPY 1) of the original and it says that it has documents in queue.

Try uninstalling the printer + drivers from your system and re-install.
The keys were only in that part of the registry, we purged every instance of the (COPY 1), rebooted and all was good from there.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
