printer icons et al
Like an idiot I bought a cheap knockoff of Adobe called PDF Quick Converter
Pro. After installation I tired it, and naturally it didn't work. After uninstalling it I now have no icons in the Printer and Fax folder! My printers are still usable in Word, Excel, etc, but they don't show up in the folder. Also I can't add a printer either. The "add a printer" from the File menu or clicking on the "Add a Printer" in the sub window do not respond. Any suggestions?
