Getting Rid of the default "Fax" in Devices and Printers

We are deploying a new fax server through the organization.  The software client adds a printer called "Multi-Tech FaxFinder"

It has created some confusion amongst our Windows 7 crowd as there is already a microsoft included "Fax" listed in printers.  I can easily go to the machine, right click on "Fax" and remove it, however I dont want to do that across 1000 machines one by one, and instructions are often hard for the user to follow, so with that in mind, can you suggest a tool, script, gpo, or any other method to administratively blow away the "Fax" entry and leave all other printers and the Multi-Tech FaxFinder in place?  While we are at it, perhaps we can also ditch the Microsoft XPS Document Writer too?

I have a 2008 R2 Domain, and we are running SCCM 2007, we also use Kixtart for our login scripting if any of those tools can help you make appropriate suggestions.

Brilliant.  So easy!

Thanks, I created a Local Printer, marked it as Delete and Named it Fax.  Worked for the XPS Document Writer Too.

Thanks!
