hp printer driver

[joe]

I installed and used an hp inkjet printer and everything
was fine until uninstalled/removed the printer. Now,
everytime the computer boots it claims to have dedected
new hardware and tries to find a driver for the no longer
existing printer. I have searched the registry and deleted
every reference to HP, Hewlett Packard, etc but am unable
to stop the false detection. MS, as always, has a no
solution solution; contact the vendor and get a good
driver. However, I no longer have the printer and do not
care to get another just to get rid of it.

HELP!!

Change the setting of the LPT port in the BIOS to read EPP.

Just an idea, go to uninstall and delete the program or

go to device manager and find it there and disable it.
Dont know if this will work but worth a try. Good luck
