    I have a Lenovo Y510 running Vista SP1. My son tried to install a HP photosmart 2710. What I ended up with is 23 entries of unknown devices in the device manager - all the HP 2710. I have disabled & "uninstalled" but they still appear when viewing "hidden ". Is there a way to remove these entries? I am not sure whether they are causing a spooler error. Really just want to clean them up.:confused:

    Boot up in safe mode and try to delete them from the "hidden" view section.

    Guessing that you have since unplugged the printer...
