Default Incorrect Printer Driver - Can't Delete

Like a dope, I installed the wrong printer driver. Now my computer thinks my
printer is a MFC5500. I can't seem to delet these programs or drivers the
normal way. I need to install the driver for a Brother MFC8220. I plan to
contact the manurfacturer, but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

Stop the print spooler service then start the spooler service.

Run the Brother uninstall application

Brother has a service for "stuff". Not sure what it does.
