How Do I Get Rid Of An Old Printer Driver Installed By Windows Xp?

Ok well I had a printer connected to my machine a couple of years back. When I attached it to my pc for the first time windows xp automatically installed it. Anyways that very same printer died on me recently and is in the garbage. I noticed that windows xp still lists it if I go to "all programs>control panel>printers and other hardware>printers and faxes". You can see it still listed as a printer in the photo below. I don't know why it's still there... But regardless can anyone tell me how to safely remove it? I assume the driver which is still installed from it's first automatic win xp installation or something.

Right Click and Delete. Then check Add/Remove Programs from the control panel for any manufacturer related software.

 

Thank you very much "Jerkyking". I did just that... Oh by the way Windows Xp did notify me that "SNAG IT" will be my default printer from now on. Snag It is actually a pc screen capture program and I assume it installs some sort of printer plug in or something since that's what's left there in my "Printers & Faxes" list. I don't know what that would be for since it's not the actual "Snag It" program... But just to confirm, what would I have to do to make sure the next real physical printer I buy is set as my default printer??? Or would it just be wiser to uninstall "Snag It" and reinstall it now so it can install itself knowing there is no printer on my machine?

when you install your new printer, if it isn't already set to be the default, there's an option, when you right-click on it, to set it to the default.

 

Thank you both very much for your time, knowledge, and assistance. I will keep everything you've both mentioned in mind.
