I'm trying to delete the registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\LPTENUM]

as per the recommendation in the KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298370/en-us.
However, when I try to delete it regedit returns: "error while
deleting key". How can a delete this key and try to solve the New
Hardware Found wizard from reappearing every time I boot?

I've tried deleting the printer and unplugging it and still can't
delete the key. If I go into Device Manager to try to delete the
driver, it isn't even there. That's right, no driver in Device
Manager. This problem is driving me crazy. If I could only delete that
key at least I think I would have a fighting chance. Please help!- Hide quoted text -

Thank you both for your excellent advice. I was finally able to delete
the registry key. BUT the problem still occurs. The New Hardware
Wizard appears everytime I boot up. After the first boot, I tried
deleting the printer and reinstalling it. The printer works fine, but
no driver for it appears in Device Manager, and everytime I boot up
the New Hardware Wizard still appears.
