I recently had problems with my HP Photosmart B209 printer so uninstalled everything connected with it, and reinstalled it.
It worked OK for a while but for a few reasons I decided it best to buy a new printer.
Again I unistalled (I think) everything to do with it and installed my new printer (HP ENVY 5540)
However, every time I start up my laptop now a window automatically appears, trying to download or install the HP Photosmart B209.
How do I get rid of this please? I'd appreciate any suggestions please.
Thanks 🙂

You need to go back and uninstall everything HP.
Use http://www.iobit.com/en/advanceduninstaller.php . Use Powerful Scan at the end and delete all registry entries shown.
Now reinstall your new printer.
