Well, no, it's not in the registry. The information that "Add Printer Wizard" displays
is from *.inf and *.pnf files that are stored in the %WINDOWS%\INF folder (aware
that this is a hidden folder). During the installation process the INF file provided by
the manufacturer is copied into this folder - and a "compiled" version of it is eventualy
created (it has the extention PNF); this happens even if the installation fails or cancelled.
Several versions of one manufacturer INF (and associated PNF) file might exist, under
different names.
To remove a specific manufacturer search the the %WINDOWS%\INF for occurence
of the manufacturer name in all files; next delete all *.INF and *.PNF files that contain the
search string. This is all. (There is no need to reboot the PC). Oh, and of course be
carrefull about the files you are deleting...

Dan hit the nail on the head! Thanks Dan!
