I've removed a computer that had a printer connected, now
another computer can't delete it because it's "no longer
connected to the server"! Help! I'm having trouble
connecting a Panasonic KX-P5400 to Win XP and thought this
other printer driver might be causeing the problem. The
Panasonic prints only garbage no matter how'd it's set or
which drivers I load!
Thanks

You'll have to stop the print spooler first...

From the command prompt, type

net stop spooler
(and hit enter)

Uninstall the printer... as per
http://www.coribright.com/Windows/Article%20One.htm

Then remember to restart the print spooler....

net start spooler

The best way to uninstall or delete a printer is to remove it via the registry. So if you are getting the error Cannot remove network printer, read this post.
