Removing the installed Driver and Re-install without Installing HP Applications. Just find on the Start/Programs menu the un-installation link of your HP Printer. If can’t find the link on Start menu, you can un-install your Printer software on the Control Panel. After a successful un-installation, go to Printers folder then ad new printer. But before that insert your installation disk on your optical drive then ignore any start-ups. Proceed on printer installation, just tell the installation wizard that you have the disk and follow instructions on the wizard until installation has been finished. Doing this installation will not install the full features of your printer which is easily accessed on the task tray. But it is the same; you can still access your printer and print documents.

Install a Clean Microsoft Windows Operating System. Re-installation of your operating system makes all entries where cleaned especially illegal entries on the registry and corrupted system file even the security policies.

Note:You must have the Administrator Privilege when installing applications and drivers. Without the administrator privilege will lead you to errors during and after installation.
