There is an article published by Microsoft on what to do if your computer displays 'Found New Hardware' for your printer every time you boot.
Why does my computer 'Find New Hardware' for my printer every time I boot?

Had a good friend ask me this one recently. Turns out it's covered by this Microsoft Knowledgebase Article.

Leo A. Notenboom has been playing with computers since he
was required to take a programming class in 1976. An 18 year career as a programmer at Microsoft soon followed.
After "retiring" in 2001, Leo started Ask Leo! in 2003 as a place for answers
to common computer and technical questions. More about Leo.
everytime I switch on or reboot my computer and try to print a document, my epson stylus colour 740 starts cleaning itself. I have had to change cartridges very often and tried what I feel is everything but it still continues. Can you help ? Many thanks

Posted by: michael horowitz at October 5, 2004 6:54 PMIn my case, I am using a Samsung printer and everything seems fine until now. Try to reset your settings and focus your attention on the pop up message, disable it... Cleaning might also solve the problem as well as checking the ports.
