Hewlett Packard Officejet t45xi - not working?

[Stifle]

I recently received the printer model in the subject line from a relative.
I installed it in Windows XP <service pack 1> when i got it. I dont remember if i used the windows XP specific driver or not however.
Now it seems that the printer has stopped working, I tried to uninstall all of the drivers and software associated with the printer but was unable to remove it from the PC entirely, thus creating a problem when i try to reinstall the software from scratch.

I think i need to wipe the registry of all traces before i can attempt to reinstall the software.
I am not very good with registry entries and am somewhat tentative to try it alone, if anyone could help me out i would be very appreciative.
