How do i remove copies of my printer

[Illuminator]

I've got an HP office 4500 and for some reason I have about 5 different copies of it on my computer that pop up when i go to print something. They are like

HP officejet 1
Hp office copy
etc etc

These do not work, and they just confuse the heck out of me when i am choosing a printer (since i also use my computer at work so i have to change the printer depending on whether im printing at work or home)

thanks for the help!

Go into your printers in control panel and right click on each click on delete.

Weird thing is they are not listed there, only when i print through word, or a program like that do they come up.

If they are not listed there, then it seems you have a corrupt registry. What about uninstalling through add/remove programs? You may have to manually clean the registry to remove them.
