Default Lost printer icon in Control Panel

I recently uninstalled a printer driver. In the process the uninstaller must
have removed the link for the printer control panel applet’s icon. The applet
itself still works fine, it just displays a blank white page icon instead of
the usual printer icon.

I had a look around in the registry, but couldn’t find any links that seemed
to make a difference.

Perhaps someone here can tell me how to bring the printer icon back for that
applet.

All help and advice would be much appreciated.
