After the last windows 10 update my laptop was unable to access my printer(HP Envy 4527.

I was instructed to uninstall and reinstall the printer driver.

Followed the instructions but suspect I put in the wrong choice when asked if access was wireless network or Wi Fi.

I selected Wireless Network. Now when I try to print it seems to do it ok but the output never gets to the printer.

I  thought the way to solve this might be to uninstall and reinstall again using Wi Fi as my choice.

But don't know how to go about this now. Been a while since I did it before as I have been on holiday.

Don't know where to find the software to uninstall it but I do still have the new version in my Downloads folder.
