I'd strongly recommend that you consider doing the following if your printer is unhappy:

Unplug from your computer.

Turn off printer.

remove old drivers through control panel/printers

Most of the CD's shipped with printers are obsolete within a month or two of their ship date.

Reverse sequence above.

Try it you'll like it.

I am using Vista. I tried going to control panel but I could not see how to Uninstall my driver there. I know how to uninstall my printer but I don't think that is what you mean.
I can't get my printer to print photographs.

Thanks for the advice. I tried it. I unplugged it from my computer, turned off the printer, and tried to uninstall it and it said the printer was in use, wait until it's finished and try later. It wasn't even on muchless in use. I am confused about that. I had'nt printed anything cause it wont let me. So I dont know why it says it's in use. Weird huh?
