Strange: VM keeps adding copy of printer driver

I have recently migrated an OEM Windows 7 from HP to Parallels 8 on a Mac. It's a new migration and I'm having some strange issues. One in particular is really strange. Every time I restart Windows, Windows installs a new copy of the HP printer driver. It's actually even worse than that. The printer driver it automatically installs is for a different model than the one I actually use. Can anyone think of a way to solve this, or a guess at how to search for a solution?

Thanks,
Jerry
 
Seconded.

I have the same problem. Parallels downloads and installs the HP 2800 drivers for each printer I have mapped, even though neither is an HP.

Annoying as hell, and costly in terms of time and productivity.
 
Same exact problem. HP 2800 drivers plus an HP 3050 that is no longer installed. Anyone determine the problem and the fix?
