Method 1

Use the HP Driver Diagnostic Tool to make sure that the software is current

The HP Driver Diagnostics tool reviews your system to see whether the product print driver needs an update. The tool also makes sure that the product setup and installation are complete, and updates, uninstalls, or reinstalls the driver if necessary.

This tool works only on products connected directly to a computer with a USB cable.


Method 2
Uninstall using the HP Uninstaller in the Program menu

HP installs an uninstall utility with the print driver to simplify the uninstall process. This uninstall utility removes the product driver, not the additional software that installed with the driver.

2. Open the uninstaller:
