Windows 'Found New Hardware' Message keeps popping up everytime Printer or PC is turned on.

I have an HP Photosmart C7280 Printer that has been on my computer for a while and works fine. Lately however, whenever I turn the computer on or turn on the printer, the Windows "Found New Hardware" notice pops up and begins prompting me through the installation of the printer software. HP has not been able to help. Anyone have an idea how to turn this pop-up off? Thanks.

Google "found new hardware" and you will find a number of solutions for that particular 
problem.
