“Scanner Properties” Icon (not shortcut) Placed on Desktop

I installed a driver for an “Epson Perfection 1260” scanner. Scanner works fine, but the “scanner properties” icon was placed on the desktop. An icon was also correctly placed in the “Camera and Scanners” folder in the Control Panel.
Since the desktop icon is not a shortcut, I have not been able to delete it.
I sure would appreciate some help!
Thanks
