Turn off the Printer
Unplug it from your computer
Goto the printers section of the control panel
Delete every instance of the Printer
Restert your computer
Check printers again to see that it is gone
Reconnect cable to connect PC to printer
Turn printer on
Wait a minute to see if windows detects and installs it
If not reinstall the printer using the add printer button or download latest driver from the manufacturer site on the internet.

Try getting fresh copy of the printer driver from: http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

Reinstall the drivers…cold boot it and see if this solves the problem. I had this problem with my users running the HP LJ 4300 printers as well. Had to use some ‘rare’ drivers to fix it.
