Window 7 Update Removes HP Printer from Devices

Since early Feb 13 I have been having issues with my HP5510 Printer, in that it has been removed from my devices list. I tried to re-install the printer driver but that didn't seem to work. Two nights ago I decided to do a System Restore and noticed that

there was a REstore Point at 8 Feb 13 and so I restored to that date and hey presto my devices showed my Printer and on test the printer worked. However two nights ago I noticed on shut down some updated were automatically installed. Last night when trying

to print my printer wouldn't work and I check my device slist and the printer had gone again. Tonight I did a System estore again and used the 8 Feb 13 date to restore to. However before cliking I noticed that 2 critical updates had occured on 13 Feb 13. I

didn't check what they were but I now notice that my Start button shows that there are some updates awaiting to be installed on shut down. I think that when I next boot up my computer I will find that my printer will again have disappeared from the device

list. Are these updates knocking off/killing my printer drivers?
