A primary alternative to using Regedit for printer connection issues is to utilize Windows' built-in troubleshooter. Go to 'Settings' > 'Update & Security' > 'Troubleshoot' > 'Additional troubleshooters' and run the 'Printer' troubleshooter. You can also try removing and re-adding the printer, updating or reinstalling the printer driver through Device Manager, and restarting the Print Spooler service via `services.msc`.
