Autodiscovery just finds the printer. You still must use an up-to-date driver. You acquired the correct driver from HP's website.

You haven't said which protocols you are using. My advice is to just leave it alone. Having two instances of a printer is not a problem. If you insist on removing one, then you have to identify the protocol you don't want to use with your printer. You may disable it from the printer's walk-up menu. You may also disable the unwanted network protocol from your computer.
I am away from my Leopard machine, but the Tiger uses the
Directory Access utility to enable network protocols. Before you turn off something, you should understand what it is and whether or not you are using it for something else. In the interest of full disclosure, I have AppleTalk enabled. My printer shows up twice because it also communicates via Bonjour. Not a problem.
