Hi,

I appreciate for trying the steps to uninstall the printer.

Before we proceed with troubleshooting, I would need little information on the issue.

• 
  Is the printer connected through wired or wireless?
  
• 
  When you say “uninstall/remove device from system part just hangs with a green bar that continues blissfully” what exact error message/error code do you receive?
  
• 
  Are you the admin of the computer?
  

Let’s follow the steps below to uninstall the printer.

As an initial steps, I suggest you to try uninstalling the printer application through Programs and Features and check if it helps.

• 
  If your printer connects to the computer with a USB cable, disconnect the cable from the printer.
  
• 
  Search Windows for programs and features, then click Programs and Features in the list of results.
  
• 
  In the list of installed programs, click your HP printer name, then click Uninstall or Yes.
  
• 
  Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the software removal.
