After a bit of a scare last week and needing to do a repair install of XP Pro, my PC is now back to its former trusty self. But on each start-up, I get the 'detected new hardware' balloon as it finds my HP970 printer - again!

Thing is, the printer is already installed and works perfectly! So how can I tell my PC to stop looking for it? HPs are buggers to install so I don't want to do it again if I can help it...

Deinstall the one that works and restart. Let it use the one it autodetects, that should sort it
