new HP Printer
by jimma77 - 12/12/06 2:24 PMI just bought a new HP inkjet F380 AIO printer. I have an Epson Stylus 500 for about 10 years, and it just does not seem to be doing the job any more. Besides, I had to throw away my scanner so up grading seemed like a good idea. My question is: before I install the new printer should I get rid of the epson (uninstall) so there will be no chance of the drives and files getting crossed? It is a paralell and the HP is USB.
Thanks for the info. The dinosaur......
Yes

Best to uninstall

I further suggest when it is uninstalled, to take the extra step and use a 'registry cleaner' to possibility remove even more old remanents that may not get removed otherwise. If you have any s/w that better uninstalls besides the manaul or product uninstall s/w itself, use that as a last resort, like Norton or McAfee s/w or pgm. remover or similar.
