I uninstalled my printer and then ran ccleaner. when I open "about:config" there's about 12 entries listed for the printer I uninstalled. Can I remove these entries?

Are those entries also still present if you close and restart Firefox without rebooting the computer?

You can right-click each of those entries and click Reset to reset the pref to the default and the pref will be removed from about:config the next time you start Firefox.

I reset all of the entries and restarted my computer and the entries are still there.
