PLEASE HELP - Printer keeps installing

I'm having the same problem ever since I ran the HPJet
Direct wizard - whenever I boot up I get the HP
Installation Wizard telling me to reboot to complete
installation even tho the damn thing is working fine

Its annoying rather than a problem but I can't find
anything on either the Microsoft or the HP site that helps
