HP PSC750 Cant delete driver!!!

[Throwin my Computer]

I have been going through printer torture and I beg someone to help me. I
have an HP 750PSC network printer. Up until some unknown event, I was able to
print and scan through my wireless network and life was jake. NOW I cannot
print, and when I try to delete and reinstall the driver it wont let me. I
have tried stopping and restarting the spool, I have confirmed that no print
jobs are on the que. I have checked the port that no other active printers
share it. I cant delete the driver, I cant reinstall the driver through the
next work IP address, I cant open the properties, and I cant even delete the
port. This is the last straw with Vista!! I hate it, and I wish I had bought
a MAC. I tried to call Microsoft and they are trying to charge me 50 bucks. I
am at a loss.

Are you deleting the printer software through the Control Panel, Add/Remove
Programs? Are you including Step 4 here?

More importantly are you disconnecting the PC from the network FIRST.

I am running vista, not XP. The driver is not listed in the add/remove
programs list (accessable through computer, not control panel in vista). When
I do step 3 (delete printer in printers/faxes from control panel) it won't
let me delete it, even if I run as administrator. I do not understand where
to go for step 4. Where do I find the toolbar? I am doing all of this while
disconnected from the network. Thanks for your help either way!!!

See if HP has an uninstall utility for your PSC.

Were you using the native Vista fax/scan software for scanning on the
network? I am unable to do so. Scanning works fine wirelessly using
the HP solution center, but Windows does not recognize it as being
installed for captures into an application. If I plug the scanner in
by USB, all is well.
