Found new hardware wizard keeps appearing

Had a problem at work, my laptop running Windows XP kept notifying me every second “Found new hardware Nokia 6280”. A bit tricky to get rid of it, found the solution way down on this post

GO INTO DEVICE MANAGER
GO TO VIEW
SELECT SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES
CLICK THE PLUS SIGN NEXT TO PRINTERS….
IS THEIR AN EXCLAMATION POINT ? if so select properties check and see what it says
TRY SELECTING DISABLE from the properties of it OR SELECT UNINSTALL SEE IF THE PRINTER STILL WORKS

Killed the problem!!
