@Alex,

Even if I change all my processors to winprint when I install a new driver (HP) it seems to flip all the processors back to a HP processor. So it's probably good to remove all of them so you don't run into issues in the future.

Hi,

My first step in troubleshooting printing problems is to clean the print hive by doing these steps:

1) I check printinfo.html to see al 3rd party print processors and monitors

2) take a backup of the corresponding registries and delete all the 3rd party monitors and processors

3) change the print processor of all printers to winprint

Are the commands in this article equivalent to this. I mean, if I just change the processors to winprint and change the monitors to 0, will it still work if I don't delete them in the registry?
