Print driver: Removing PaperSize definitions

Hi,
I noticed a problem with the size of a vendor specified paper size in my Unidriver GPD file. I fixed it, but it appears that the old definition still exists. I did a search on my XP registry and found the old name under several entries, one being HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Forms. I think this is causing me problems because the only way to get the fixed version to appear in the driver "properties" section is to give it a different name.

Is the only way to remove the paper size definition to manually delete it from the registry?

No...you should not delete it from the registry. Instead, you should delete your form from the Forms database which can be accessed via Control Panel -> Printers folder -> File -> Server Properties -> Forms tab.
