I use Manuel Winkel's script <www.deyda.net> to convert UPM profiles to FSLogix profiles. Which users then encounter the problem that they can no longer print? Deleting printers from the registry and...

Would suggest below:
1. Clean Printer Registry Keys More Thoroughly
Remove-Item -Path "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts" -Recurse -Force
Remove-Item -Path "HKCU:\Printers" -Recurse -Force
Run this as the affected user before FSLogix mounts the profile.
2. Reset Print Spooler Dependencies
Stop-Service spooler
Remove-Item -Path "C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS\*" -Force
Start-Service spooler
3. Use FSLogix Profile Exclusions
[Registry]
ExcludeRegistry=HKCU\Printers
ExcludeRegistry=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts
4. Test with a Clean VHD(X)
If all else fails, create a fresh FSLogix profile and compare registry snapshots with the converted one.

Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I don't see any difference between the old and new profiles. Just to note, printing via Microsoft Print to PDF doesn't work either. It generates a corrupted PDF with 0 bytes.
