If a logical printer is removed under the Printers folder (Print Manager in Windows NT 3.51) that has also been assigned as a print server to a NetwareCompatiblePServer port under File and Print services for NetWare (FPNW), Print Servers in Server Manager for Domains, registry entries pointing to the print server will remain after the printer has been deleted in the Printers folder (or Print Manager).

MORE INFORMATION

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\FPNW\Bindery\Type03
