Can't delete network printer now that I'm not connected to network

[Olga]

I've removed a computer that had a printer connected, now
another computer can't delete it because it's "no longer
connected to the server"! Help! I'm having trouble
connecting a Panasonic KX-P5400 to Win XP and thought this
other printer driver might be causeing the problem. The
Panasonic prints only garbage no matter how'd it's set or
which drivers I load!
Thanks

You'll have to stop the print spooler first...

From the command prompt, type

net stop spooler
(and hit enter)

Uninstall the printer... as per

Then remember to restart the print spooler....

net start spooler
