    Updates failing for uninstalled HP Printer


    I keep getting failed updates for a HP Printer that was uninstalled over a year ago. No programs/apps related to HP can be found on the apps or drive files- how do I stop these update attempts?

    :)

    HP printer update failing

    There used to be an HP printer on my friend's computer. When it died they purchased and installed a new printer (not HP) which is working correctly. They also uninstalled the HP printer. As it turns out Windows update has been failing everyday for months trying to update the old HP printer.

    Here's what I've checked.

    1. Under the printers in the control panel there is no HP printer listed. Just the new printer.
    2. Under Uninstall a program there is no HP anything listed.
    3. I found and disabled the HP service running. It stays disabled after restarts, but this issue is still there.
    4. There are no HP processes running under startup processes. Nothing to disable there.
