HP PSC2510 software reinstalls itself on bootup!
Hi all,
At the best of times I detest bloatware such as the software which comes with printers such as my PSC2510 from HP. I'm having a small problem which I hope someone can help with or at least point in the direction of something/someone that can help. The problem is that on every bootup, the software which came with the printer decides to reinstall itself. Not a complete reinstall, just a dialogue which says it's 96% through installation and will take a few mins to complete set up. Anyone seen this before and got any suggestions? The printer is connected via wifi and we get the same occurence on 2 pcs which are running the software side by side. All suggestions/flamings welcome. Cheers, G |

Cheers, G I have seen this with other software, installer registry entry not removed after install. Best practice is to remove and reinstall, if not you have to hunt it down. I found it thru a persistant startup error msg that gave me part of the reg entry value and then I searched for it. -- They can have my command prompt when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. |
