Another potential thing would be to stop the print spooler service, "net stop spooler" unless they changed it in XP, then delete the printer, should be pretty destructive.

Well I think that I figured it out.

While I was playing around, I tried to do something to the printer (I
think that it was disconnect but I'm not sure now) and it said that it
couldn't do whatever it was if there were jobs queued.

So I opened up the print queue, but there were no jobs queued,  I
brought up a context menu anyway, and it had something like "delete
all jobs", so I selected it.

As soon as I did that the printer went away, I guess the delete was
waiting for the empty queue to be emptied.

Doncha just love windoze?
