HP Envy 7100 wont install

[MagnusBlund]

Hi

I am having the worst time of my life with the absolutely stupidest of printer drivers ever.

I wanted a printer that could print at home, work with our computers and simply work like any other printer I have had during my life which is:

1. Install printer drivers and make sure everything is connected.

2. Print from any of my programs as I see fit including having the printer printing the size of an image I have created and of course printing directly from Photoshop - Mine is old  but honestly
Ok

What I got - A printer driver forcing me to repeat the same steps over and over again - When I finally found a nonadvertising clean driver without the bleeding HP whatever inc - then IT WORKED - UNTIL TODAY when it all started over again until the driver jumps around and then tells me that it is installed - which it is not - and of course it had lost the ability to print from photoshop which it was able to do two weeks ago.

What can I do? It is a printer  - I have never had this kind of trouble with a printer.

Oh yes it prints from the wifes computer - except it makes everything scaled instead of printing the actual size of the picture as it was created and there is not any way to change it in the menus 

I have never experienced anything like this and any suggestions except clean install of my system is appreciated. What I really would like is a real driver file.

Thanks

Magnus
