Printer - New hardware found

[thomas]

After a long run of no printer problems, my printer began
to chop up pages, feed blank pages etc., so I did a
thorough uninstall of drivers as posted in this forum and
then reinstalled the appropriate driver. The printer now
works again, but now, everytime I start my computer from
cold, the new hardware wizard pops up and says it has
detected a new printer. I cancel out of the prompts and go
on my way, but the wizard thing is annoying, How can I
prevent it from coming up everytime I start my computer?
Thanks, Thomas, Juptier, Florida

Two solutions here:

Either let the New Hardware Wizard complete it's 'thing' then delete both
printers and on restart, it should install just one, or

The New Hardware Wizard May Detect the Printer Device After Every Restart of
the Computer
