Connector Name
Hi I installed and configured the Universal Print Service. Is there a way to rename the connector name? Thank you Dario

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":
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/universal-print/fundamentals/universal-print-remove-connector-howto
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.

that was it, after removing the connector by Powershell you can't reinstall without removing these registrykeys. After removing these keys I could register and if i wanted rename the connector. Thanks for the quick reply. Much appreciated.
