In Win9x I'd print a test page on the printer. If that works, it 
tells you what driver files you're using. I'd then delete them, 
search for their names in the registry, delete relevant registry 
lines. The I'd search in WINDOWS\INF for all files containing as text
any of these file names, and consider deleting them. Good backup 
before doing this.

While Win2000 is a different beast, some modification of this 
approach might help.
