Hi! @Agieblueberry, Thanks for stopping by the HP Support Forums!

I understand you have printer installation issues with the PC.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your printer?

Are you the administrator of the PC?

Please share the operating system you are running on the PC to assist you better.

Excellent description and a great diagnosis done. It is greatly appreciated.

Please try few steps recommended below.

First, uninstall the printer software from the root level and give permissions for the program files folder.

In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features. 
Select your HP printer. 
Select Uninstall. 
In Windows, search for and open Devices and Printers. 
In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.” 
Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo. 
Type printui.exe /s and click OK. 
Click on Drivers tab. 
Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click remove at the bottom. 
Select OK. 
Select Apply and OK on the Print Server Properties windows. 
Close Devices and Printers. 

Press the "Windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - 

Type C:\ProgramData hit ok
Right-click on the program data folder and select "Properties"
Go to the Security tab, and select "Users" from the group or usernames
Click "Edit"
Select Users, then check the box by "Full Control"
Click "Apply"
You may get a whole bunch of error messages about inheritance, just hold down the Enter key until they all go away.
