How to Remove the HP Printer from the Control Panel?



It is not mandatory to use just one printer; you can download and install various HP Printer and Drivers to your device across different locations. However, it might not necessary that you use all of the installed printers on your device. Probably you’ll use just one or two, that’s it! But what will you do with the rest of the installed printers? Nothing, if you want you can remove the printers and their drivers which you’re no longer using.


But remember, even if you remove a Printer in Windows, the printer’s driver is not uninstalled automatically –it remains in your device’s inventory in case you need it again. And, if required you need to manually uninstall the driver from Windows 10 control panel by following these few given steps:


  1. In the first step, you have to open the ‘Control Panel,’ and click on the ‘Devices and Printers’ icon.

  2. In the second step, under ‘Printers’, click right to choose ‘Remove device’.

  3. Then, tap on ‘Yes’ to confirm the action.

  4. After doing so, on the next screen go to ‘Settings>Apps>Apps & Features’ in the same order to select the printer’s driver you want to uninstall. 

  5. Then, in the last step, click on the ‘Uninstall’ button and follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the printer and its driver software.

You can also setup your HP Printer easily whenever you want.
