HP 4050 network printer driver not deleting   

I have a XP home machine on our work network.  That machine doesn't print to 
the HP 4050.  AS of Thursday it could, but now it can't.  It can print to the 
rest of the other printers in the printer's list.  Other users can print to 
the HP 4050.  When I try to delete the driver, it stays there saying 
deleting.  It also says that it has 4 print jobs, but when I open it there is 
nothing in the print list.  I have tried to put a new driver in, but that 
doesn't work.  I have to delete and then rebooted about 10 times and that 
doesn't work.  I went into safe mode, both with and without network support, 
but when I open up the printers folder, there is nothing in there.  I want to 
delete this printer driver and reinstall it, but I am unable to.  Is there 
something I haven't tried that will work?

Re: HP 4050 network printer driver not deleting   

Start, Settings, Control Panel, Printers & Faxes... right click on the 
printer and cancel all print jobs.

Then uninstall the printer....
