HP printer problems on Vista by novice

STUMPS · 05-28-2008

Hi
Can anyone please help?
I am by no means an expert on the Vista system, and am currently stumped by trying to remove (delete) an installed printer (HP1210 all in one). I have tried all usual channels but am still seeing printer and stating deleting! If I click on the printers properties it says that there is one job still to do, but it is impossible to cancel and/or remove this, thus no completion on deleting printer.
Thanks for all constructive help

Check HP;s website under your exact model to see if they have an uninstall
utility that you can download and use.

Thanks Cari,
Managed to remove eventually but took a very long time. Unfortunately the printer is a bit old and HP didn't carry any links or uninstall devices on it at all.
I appreciate your comments.
Regards,
Steve

Glad you and 'it' are OK, IMHO all AIO's should have an uninstall utility
available at the manufacturer's website!
