      Have a poke in the registry, there must be a flag set thinking it's already installed. Just delete the keys.

          Of course. Linux is well-known for great driver support. Oh, wait.

              No idea how to fix it but just to echo that I too have had issues with HP devices that worked well under XP failing to work quite randomly under Vista. I don't have a fix I'm afraid though.

                Totally agree. Had HP C5180 installed. Good printer but removing it was like removing a virus. Left bits of code everywhere on the machine, local apps, windows, prog files, IE addins, schedules.

                Think I solved the undeletable problem by delving into the properties, you need to change ownership so it's not just trusted installer. Also run the installer cleanup utility from MS site, there's about 3 things left in there.

                  This reminds me of something I read a while ago about HP drivers for Linux and OS X.

                  Apparently HP USB printers don't share very well and this is a deliberate move by HP since in their view of the world you should get a separate USB printer for every computer.

                  There are however open source drivers out there which don't have this restriction, Gutenprint, I think.

                    Also have a look and see if it's hanging about in device manager
