How to get software update to quit trying to update a printer I removed

I was living with extended family for a few months and installed their printer driver to print while there but since I moved out I removed their printer from my printers section in my Library but "software update" keeps trying to update the driver that I deleted. how do I get it to quit trying to update something I removed?

Move the InstalledPrinters.plist from /Library/Printers/ to the Desktop, restart, and see if that fixes the problem. If so, fire up your printer and that plist file should be recreated and you can delete the moved one.
