WPrinter icon missing in system tray

[hondoe]

I had this problem before and used System Restore to return my PC to an earlier state where WPrinter works.

Now I've gotten the same error again and do not want to use System Restore because I always lose some of the changes I've made when I use it.

I have enjoyed WPrinter for years, but it has started having a recurrent problem. After running it, the program shows up in the Windows Task Manager as a running process, but no icon appears in the system tray.

the error message that appears when the program is run is:

failed to set data for 'Icon'

can you help me please?

I tried reinstalling a new download over the old one.

I also tried uninstalling completely and reinstalling.

Neither solved the problem.

thanks

p.s. here's my log file:

Hi,

I apologize for not answering sooner as the support forums were down for 2 days.

Sorry to hear about your problem. After some head scratching and careful log dissection, I was able to reproduce your problem. It appears that you have some partially saved printer template and that's what's been causing your problem. What I call a template is what you get when you bring up Configuration dialog and modify printer's alias, icon, etc.

Template's information's stored in the registry. It appears one of your template values, Icon to be exact, is missing. Here's what you can do until I fix the problem so that it's handled a bit more gracefully. To fix that, try this:

* Bring up Registry Editor
* Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\USysWare\WPrinter\Printers
* Check each printer name sub-key looking for one that doesn't have Icon value
* Add Icon string value (right click on the right hand side and select New->String Value). You don't need to set its value

Let me know if this helps or if you need some help with the above steps. Thanks.
