I had an HP Photosmart printer that was giving me alot of problems so I returned it and uninstalled the software but now I still have this "service" in the Windows Task Manager called "HP Network Device Support". I want to get rid of it. I was able to disable it but can't remove it. Does anyone know how to remove a "service" (the things that show up when you hit the services button in Windows Task Manager). I am running on Windows Vista Home Premium.
