How do I stop WinXP from continually installing another printer?

I have HP LaserJet 5L attached to LPT1:
WinXP installs some built-in generic driver for this printer [not a
good driver since it continually overruns the memory of the printer
and often fails to print, just locks up]
I downloaded a more appropriate driver for the HP5L, removed the first
one, installed the better one, made it the default printer, and have
NEVER had a problem printing using it.
However,...WinXP in its benevolence keeps installing the old driver
and apparaently adding that as another printer.
How do I stop this?
so far, I just keep deleting the extra one, but that's becoming a big
nuisance.
At least when the new on is added, the preferred one stays as the
default printer.
but still a nuisance. how to stop this automatically adding feature?
