Connector Name
seems like it's still not possible after two years, unfortunately. This could cause issues in switching between testing environment to production

Similar thing has happened to me.
Moving from test to production & making a few changes.
Removed the connector via powershell..
Reconfigured & setup the service, it works; but no connector appearing in 'Universal Print | Connectors'.
I'm afraid this may become an issue later in the future with troubleshooting..
- MaxMorsiaMay 25, 2022Brass ContributorI've managed by removing the connector in different stages: 1) uninstall the two MSI (connector and updater) via powershell 2) tipically remove the application from windows settings 3) clean the connector folders and the registry entries. After that I've reinstalled the connector and finally I was asked for a connection name which then appeared on Azure.

MaxMorsia could you specify which regkeys you have deleted? We are having the same issues and I would also like to re-register the connector

Ciao Giovanni 🙂
I can't say precisely, as I looked for "Printconnector" in regedit and removed everything that wasn't involved in the installer keys.
I forgot to mention that before everything else, the following procedure must be followed up to the end of "Unregister the connector":

However, regarding the registry entries, I think it's enough to remove "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\UniversalPrint" and all its subkeys as they clearly contain the settings.
Also, make sure to delete the folder C:\Program Files\PrintConnector, if still existing after the final app removal.
