Hi tiffany, how are you doing? If you are wanting to remove all associated stuff from a application, do the following. First, delete the application from your Appplications folder. You can get to it quickly by hitting Command+Shift+A, if you are in the finder window. Anyhow, delete that. Then, in that same window, hold down Command and hit the Up Arrow, that will take you to the previous folder within that directory. Go into library, and look for anything associated with your printer there. In the library folder, you will want to look for a folder that is related to the printer you installed, and then you are going to want to delete that. Afterwards, in that same library folder, look through the Cache folder, the Receipts folder, and Preferences, and PreferencePaines folder. You In these folders, you will want to look for what is associated with your printer. It might say .hp pritner, or something to that affect, or just have a printer name, or printer number. If you want to further delete stuff associated with your printer, open your Macintosh HD icon on your finder window, look for Users, then the user name you used for your computer, and hit Library there. In this folder, you will go through the same areas, Cache, Preferences, and Preference Paines. Also look for a folder that is related to your printer, or printer company as well within the library main folder. I know it sounds like a lot, but if you are wanting to delete it like this in a manual way, this is what you can do. There are programs that do deletion of programs for you. I don't know of what they are actually called. But, I hear they do a good job of deleting everything from system files, to the application associated with waht you want to uninstall. If you don't want to go through all what I have mentioned, I could try and find a application for you. Also, I know there is a way to do it in terminal, if your comfortable with that. I don't know the command for it, but I can certainly try and hunt it down if you would like. sorry to dump all this on you. I hope this helps.
