I installed my 8710 on my new laptop last night. Now, I have 2 printers on it.

I have one printer:  HP-8710.  My brand new laptop (after installation) now shows 2 printers.  One is called HP-8710 and it shows as a USB connection.  The other one shows as wireless and it has the correct IP address.  It has been named HPBEDC76.  I just want one 8710 that will print.

I have gone through your Post and I understand your concerns

I suggest you uninstall all the printer drivers from root level and download the Full Feature Software

1.) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features 
2.) Select your HP Printer 
3.) Select Uninstall 
4.) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers 
5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose ‘Delete’ or ‘Remove Device’ 
6.) Open up the run command with the “Windows key + R” key combo.
7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”) 
8.) Click on the “Drivers” tab 
9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom 
10.) Select Ok 
11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows 
12.) Close Devices and Printers
13.) Restart the computer and download the Full Feature Software from Here and follow the onscreen Instructions

Keep me posted how it goes
