web2pdf continues to prevent me from making Adobe PDFs even after uninstalling web2pdf

On FireFox's sync site, it endorses web2pdf. It doesn't work and it prevents my making PDFs with Adobe.

So I got rid of web2pdf by closing out the add-on. That uninstalled the add-on, but I still can't print out any pdfs. I removed Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502, couldn't find Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45, and didn't understand the Mozilla page on plug-ins.

"Adobe PDF Properties" tells me my PDF printer is working properly, but when I attempt to print a PDF, I get a pop-up window that informs me of an "error printing PDF." If I try again, the popup window tells me that my "Adobe PDF" is in "error status" until I remove the queued document.

I never had this problem before I downloaded print 2pdf, and now that I've uninstalled it, the problem remains.

How do I regain my Adobe PDF function? Any steps I can take to set my system back to its original operational state? Would reloading my Adobe CS3 solve the problem? Is there anything I should/can do before I resort to that (a very timely process)? My OS is Win8.
