I meant to say that in the post above. I had a printer that did the same thing.
I thought that might happen.
the .inf file is being read by the install at startup and may also being the File repository as well.
Go to the C:\windows\inf directory, locate any oem***.inf files, look over the contents and rename the files to .in, disregard the warning, remove the Device from Device Manager again and reboot.
