# CSR Registry Settings
A common bug is that when a user profile is deleted that contained a printer it is not properly removed from the device.  According to this forum post these registry changes help to clear out these printers on logout.

### Reg Keys
- These are the keys that need to be added to a group policy or script.
- There are 4 keys that need to be added.  They are shown here with this format.
- Each entry is added to the path below
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider
```
```
Name
Type
Data
```
```
InactiveGuidPrinterAge 
dword
00000384 

ActiveGuidPrinterAge
dword
00000384

InactiveGuidPrinterTrim
dword
00000384

RemovePrintersAtLogoff
dword
00000001
```
#### Notes
I use the **Replace** function and the **Remove when no longer applied** option to delete this key from devices if the policy is ever removed

The registry keys need to be applied under **Computer Configuration** not user
