Samsung Universal Printer Driver For Windows 10

Recently I connected to my parents SAMSUNG XPRESS M2070FW printer via their wireless network. I manually downloaded the associated driver from the manufacturer website and installed it.

Everything works fine, and I am able to print. However Windows update keeps trying to download and install a universal print driver and failing with 'Samsung - Printers - Samsung Universal Print Driver 3 - Error 0x800f024b.' I'm not sure why this is happening, and even though it doesn't affect my ability to print it's annoying. I've ran the update troubleshooter, clean booted, deleted everything out of the software distribution folder while the update service was stopped, etc.

This is a fairly low priority issue that I'm dealing with, but I thought that some of the smart folks at Microsoft and (especially) some fellow users might have seen this before, and could possibly have a solution. Thanks in advance, to any and all replies.
