My Photosmart C4680 has been misbehaving and showing a lot of errors lately. The printer usually works, but the scanner hasn't worked for sometime. I get an error saying another program has control of my scanner. I am using Windows 7 on a 64 bit machine.
I ran Scan Diagnostics and it said I had a corrupt or missing scan driver, but when I asked it to remove the driver so I could start over, I got a message saying it can't find the driver and I should remove it manually. How do I do that?

Hi,
There is an uninstaller file in the downloadable software driver package. I have linked the software driver package download page below. Follow the proceeding the steps to access the uninstaller files.

1. Download the full feature driver.
2. Double click on the downloaded file and it will start to extract the files t othe temp folder
3. Cancel the software installation process by clicking exit
4. Click Start and then type %temp% on the searh bar. Press Enter
5. Open the folder that starts with a 7z with a modfiied date of today
6. Inside that folder double click on Util, then CCC. Double Click on Uninstall L3 to initiate the uninstall process. This could take around 10-15mins.
