Cannot uninstall HP Driver Software

[floydstime]

I cannot uninstall printer software.  I get the error

Call to DriverPackageUninstall returned error 5 for package

'C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\hpwia_ojx576_dw.inf_amd64_84180deeab39d1fe\hpwia_ojx576_dw.inf:

A caller of DriverPackageInstall must be a member of the Administrators group to install a driver package.

I found this link on the forums; however, it didn't work.
