how do I uninstall HP psc 2170 series printer

12 years ago

My HP psc 2170 series printer will not print. .....

I want to uninstall and re-install, but I can't find where to do it.......The pamphlet says to go to START-- Hewlett- Packard to uninstall but it does not show the printer.

Programs and features on CONTROL PANEL does not show the printer.

Devices and printers has a "remove device"
......... Will that remove all that needs to be uninstalled in order to re-install?

    Here's a helpful link,

    Here is a link that might be useful: hp.com/bizsupport

    I'm sorry, I have been fooling with this problem all day that my head hurts. The link has too many methods, too many UNINSTALLS, which is what I don't find in my computer. I found it very confusing and not helpful.........Maybe tomorrow, with a clearer head, I can make sense of so much information, I will give it another try, Thanks.

    When using the link Zep provided do not look at everything, instead look down the side for the tutorial covering your operating system.

    Then follow along line by line rather than look at everything allowing it to confuse you.

    If all else fails do a dirty install and install over top of the existing installation without removing it.

    Normally HP uninstalls require using the installation CD, and following the on-screen instructions. When completed I would suggest a followup with CCleaner's registry utility so as to remove any orphaned entries. The uninstall process can be tasking, but it is not difficult.

    Uninstalling a HP printer any other way than as directed by HP can cause more trouble than success.

    I should have come here yesterday early in the morning. Thank you, thank you. Several times you have helped solve my problems.........I did go to the link again, this time I saw that there was a specific method for Windows 7......I had no idea that installing the disc would have an option for uninstall.......I used the disc..........This old thing prints again

    Thanks, zep, owbist.and damccoy

    Not every disk has that that option.

    Great to hear things are buzzing again...

    Strictly in regards to HP brand I personally haven't seen one without said offering in quite a while.
