Hi @marg25,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
This is a wonderful place to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips.
I reviewed your post and understand that you are having issues installing the full feature software on your computer.
I'll be glad to help you 🙂
In order that I may provide you with an accurate solution, I will need a few more details.
- When was the last time the printer was working fine?
- Is this the first time you are installing the printer on this computer?
Meanwhile, I recommend you follow the below steps and check if it helps.
- 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 windows 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. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”)
- Click on the "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
- Restart the PC
- Download and install the printer software from the below link.

I bought this printer several years ago and I was able to install the printer with the software cd that came with it. Somehow I think I accidently deleted the software and the toolbox was gone. I was going to uninstall the printer and install the software again but I couldn't find the printer in my uninstall programs. My printer worked fine so I didn't bother with it anymore. Well it started having paper jams so I bought me another new printer on ebay just like it Photosmart C4795.
I deleted the printer from printer and devices and installed the new printer but it will not install the software.
I looked in uninstall programs and it says HP utility center, HP support assistance,and HP support solutions framework. I cannot find where to uninstall the printer. The printer is working fine I would just like to have the toolbox so I can keep track of my ink.
