HP Smart - How to Uninstall/Reinstall printer drivers

[Shylerbrewz]

 I wish to try the uninstall/reinstall driver dance  in attempt to fix my printing issues. The printer, an Envy 4520, is installed with the HP Smart app. How do I uninstall the drivers and then reinstall a fresh copy. There is no driver file listed in Apps & Programs, only HP Smart.

Thanks,

Scott
