Turn off the spooler service, then remove the mapping. I have long recommended turning off things you don't need on web servers. Almost any internet-exposed web server doesn't need to be printing to or from just about anything. The functionality is put there so that you can manage your printer from a browser - if you're really doing that, the only option is to apply the patch. BTW, when I tested this on my system at work, I removed the mapping, did not disable spooler, rebooted and the mapping did not come back. I'm not sure why this is. I know others had the same experience as the poster, so this work-around does work.
