I assume you actually did install this printer intentionally at some point?

Turn off Print Spooler Service
run: %windir%\System32\spool\PRINTERS
Delete everything in that folder
Turn on Print Spooler Service
F5 to refresh printers and devices

Programs like Adobe, Nitro Pdf or PDF24 create virtual printers.

What's the name of the printer ?

Open the printer properties and check the port it's using.

I'll tell you all the programs, services and drivers auto-starting in Windows.

Check if the printer is there.

@iroal and I will most likely be giving you the same advice (from what I've seen so far). I am still monitoring your issue though so one of us will be replying I'm sure.
