I have recently installed a new printer and I am following Graham
Mayor's tip on how to modify the registry to correct Epson's envelope
orientation.

I navigate the HKEY_CURRENT_USER until I get to the printer name, and
here lies my problem. There are two printers listed, my old one that I
have uninstalled, an Epson C40, and my new one an Epson CX6600.

When I highlight the C40 (old printer) the settings are as expected and
similar to Graham's screen shot;

ab(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
abDefaultBin REG_SZ
abEnvBin REG_SZ 7
abEnvFeed_7 REG_SX 4100

When I highlight the CX6600 these are the settings;

ab(Default) REG_SZ (Value not set)
abDefaultBin REG_SX

As you can see two of the settings are "missing", including the one I
need to alter (EnvFeed_7).

I THINK the answer to my problem is to delete my old printer from the
registry, but as a novice I am heeding all the advice I have read about
tinkering in there. I'm not touching anything in the registry until I
have sound advice and clear instructions. Hopefully I can find that
advice here. TIA

Removing the reference to the old printer will not change anything, though
you can do so if you wish.
I am not familiar with your new printer, but it will do no harm to add the
missing sub key and its value to the registry.
Right click in the right window of the registry editor with the printer key
selected and add a new string value. Name the key EnvFeed_7 and give it an
initial value of 3.

Thanks for your help Graham.

One more question. I noticed that there are four sub keys in the
registry for my old printer (see my original post). Do I need to add the
sub key, abEnvBin, as well as, abEnvFeed_7?

I will leave the settings for my old printer as the are!

It's only the 'feed' key that is relevant.
