Actually most of the HP stuff I've bought didn't work too badly. An exception was an old HP scanner that worked on my wife's Windows ME laptop but I didn't have the drivers for and couldn't find on their site. This annoyed me and it was one of the reasons why I had to buy the deskjet F4580 (I needed a scanner) which has been working pretty well over the last six months once I managed to kill the SmartWebPrinting thing. Generally I find HP stuff works. In fact I held off upgrading my Palm Treo 680 (the software on which generally doesn't work) because HP bought Palm and I wanted to see how well HP would get on getting the synchronisation software to work consistently. I'd be happier if they did a better job of making sure the drivers you need for obsolete equipment were easy to find as it generates more of an environmental impact throwing this stuff away than it does for example throwing a print cartridge away.

I tried every thing that was published on the net related to this subject and nothing worked. Till I found this article which cleared up the matter for me, these pop-ups are related to an HP software, an installation became corrupted. and since I only have two installations related to HP printers, it was easy to uninstall them. the problem disappeared thanks to the info from this article. So, thanks a million guys, you really made my day.

I bought a Hewlett Packard HP Deskject F4580 this week. I am running Windows XP Home but this thing somehow automatically tried to install SmartWebPrinting. Now, every few minutes this thing tries to install itself and when I try to cancel it won't. It just goes around and around in a loop and I can't kill it. It's wasting hours of my time. The only thing I ever had that was more of a nuisance was a Trojan.
