    I just canme back from holidays and found my pc is very very slow to print or even to go to the print dialogue or page settings in any application. someone in the office was messing with my pc trying to reinstall a printer and they told me they deleted a registry entry after googling a solution to completely uninstall a printer. they cant remeber which entry they deleted and theres no restore points on the pc.

    it is very slow printing to any network printer (I tried two different ones) seems ok printing to dot matix receipts printer directly attached.

    anyone got any ideas. have already tried reinstalling drivers on all the printers. is there any way of finding out which default registry entries are missing?

    What kind of printer are you printing to? What drivers are you using for it? Do you go via a print server or connect directly to it? What port are you connecting over? And how exactly are you going to hurt the person involved who knew enough about computers to fiddle in the registry but not enough to know that you should back up the registry before making any changes you're not sure of?
