I hope someone can help me with my printer driver [View all]

I am running Windows 7, and the printer is an HP LaserJet 1020. For some reason, the computer insisted that another, non-existent printer that it called HP LaserJet 1020 (Copy 1) was the printer it wanted to print to.

I removed all references to that printer using regedit, but now when I want to print, except from Word, it asks me to select a printer, and while HP Laserjet 1020 is the only choice, it seems to be acting as if it were not a valid choice. Word, for some reason, still lets me print from it.

Got any suggestions about what to do?
