Can't fully remove the printer from the system?
Can't fully remove the printer from the system?
Hello.
I installed some software I shouldn’t have—HP design jet software/Drivers. Since there was no uninstall option in the app section, I had to use the control panel, panel or device manager and tried “remove.” It said it would attempt to uninstall the drivers. I’m unsure what remains. There are still files under program files named “HP print preview,” and in main windows settings there’s a Bluetooth entry with the HP design jet T120, next to random letters and numbers, labeled “driver unavailable.” Before removal, there were two entries for this printer, but after removal it no longer appears on the printer choice list during live printing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is this affecting my computer?
Update – I managed to remove it in the classic control panel and it no longer shows up, but what about those HP print preview files under Program Files?
It is an HP branded computer…

The trial version is more than adequate.
Another approach is to change the names of those files if feasible.
Just put an "X" at the start of the file name.
If there are no negative outcomes (wait a few boots), then you can remove the files directly.
For extra protection, simply save copies elsewhere - just in case...
