Cannot uninstall network printer after its removal

I have a strange situation here.
An old network printer has long since been removed but its
still installed in Windows XP on one machine.
When we try to right-click on the driver and choose to
remove it we get a message saying something like "Can not
remove printer. Printer name is wrong or selected printer
is no longer connected to the server". We get a similar
message if we try to right-click and choose properties.

The printer was a Canon LBP 430W but it was installed with
the driver for HP Laserjet IIP.
