I have an HP PHOTOSMART C5180 printer that when I try too scan to the computer will not unless I have the HP software. So I downloaded the HP Print and scan DOCTOR. Now when I go to start my computer I get a windows installor and it tries to install HP DIGITAL Image so I went to MSCONFIG to shut it off and I can unclick it but the min I hit apply it checks itself. I cannot find the appdata folder. Is there a way besides uninstalling the HP program that I use to fix this?Step by step:

Uninstall the printer in Device Manager.
Uninstall any HP printer software in Add/Remove.
Power down and dis-connect the printer...do not connect it yet.
Power up and install the HP printer software...it will prompt you for when to connect it.

You should be all set...Using msconfig to run a device is just a bandaid and not suggested...I do not want the installer to run
All your issues here revolve around you NOT wanting to install the software required for a device to work properly...

Sorry, but i can no longer assist...Best of Luck.Reinstall something to have the same issue seems to me LIKE a waste of time but whatever you think. And I fixed it without uninstalling anything. TOPIC NEEDS CLOSEDReally ? ?
