printer problems

I have tried to link my computer to my OH's and it's left me with a problem my computer thinks that there's a printer on OH's machine, but the printer is no longer with us and everything i try and delete the printer my machine just re runs the installation program and puts it back. I don't think it's helping that it also thinks there's a document stuck in the printer spooler when it doesn't exist or can't be deleted.

Sorry that's really confusing is it?
To summarise,
a printer which doesn't exist has a document stuck in it on the spooler and won't let me delete it.
the same printer won't uninstall (i think because of the document above)

thanks for your help sorry to confuse you .

    How are you trying to delete the printer exactly?

    hi, sorry for the delay in reply, I'm going to the control panel, picking the printer, right clicking and then saying delete. It has worked before but this one just keeps reloading itself.

    Have you uninstalled the printer software through Add/Uninstall Programs?

    i have another HP printer so i'm unsure about which driver to uninstall because it's not very clear to be honest. The one i'm trying to uninstall is the 1355 HP printer.
