Script To Remove ! Items Device Manager

[staples]

I have searched msfn and google but have not found anything... does anyone know how to script the removal of ! items out of device manager?

I install the driver before the printer gets plugged in. I plug in the printer and sometimes it does not install the driver completely and gets a ! next to the device in device manager. I login as admin on the box and remove the device from device manager and then reconnect the device. Normally on the 2nd to 4th time it installs.

So far I think I have gotten around it with a script that elevates the rights. But sometimes the ! still appears next to the device in device manager.

is there a script to remove items with ! next to them in device manager?
