Product: F4580 All-in-one
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I uninstalled the printer software back in May and then reinstalled to correct an issue I was having with my printer. It was solved for a bout a month and the the software started messing up again. I uninstalled it again and reinstalled to correct the issue and get my printer to recognize it was on the network and could talk to my computer. However what I didn't know at the time was that the HP all in one software was hanging around in my programs list, so when I reinstalled it put a second copy of the softwarre on my system. Then my printer would work for about a week before it started to try to connect to the ghost program. Now I can't uninstall the remnant and I know that reinstalling the software won't overwrite the ghost. How do I get rid of the ghost program?
