I recently installed an Envy 4527 WiFi/USB connected printer. HP print and scan doctor show 2 NET (wifi) connected printers (both 4520 series), one of which shows as 'not connected' (incorrect icon) when chosen as the subject for diagnosis, but MS Win only shows 1 (true) in widows 'Printers & Devices' manager (correct icon). How do I delete the second, non-existent (unconnected) printer from HPSPDr search results?
