Hi,
Download and install Revo Uninstaller from the link below.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
Disconnect your printer from your PC.
Run revo to see if it finds the software you wish to uninstall.  Right click on the icon of the program you wish to remove and select Uninstall.  During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries, just select all and then click delete.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once the uninstall has completed, reboot the PC.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
DP-K

  • How do I uninstall software not in my applications folder? The icon won't drag and drop to trash.

    I received a fitness device and downloaded the software. It didn't download to my Applications folder and I wasn't smart enought ot make sure I saved it there. Now the device doesn't work and I want to uninstall the software. I tried dragging and dropping the icon from Launchpad but that doesn't work. This lomg-time PC user turned Mac lover needs hlep!

    well this is strange, but hang with me a sec.  Some of these will sound obvious but i have to ask them.
    1)  Are you 100% sure it's not in your application folder?  (I have downloaded stuff and looked for a while without seeing the app RIGHT in front of me).
    2) The hard thing to believe is that it is in your launchpad but NOT in your application folder. 
    3) Try downloding it again....it might find the detect the old version and overwrite it.  I have never downloaded an app that did not automatically download to the applications folder, but if this one did, check to see what option it gives you to dowload to by default.  That way you can see maybe where it was installed to, and thus find it and delete it.  then reinstall to the applications folder.
    let me know

  • How do I "Uninstall" software?

    I'm sure this must be posted here someplace, but I can't seem to find it. Sorry for having to ask, but how do I "Uninstall" software? I realize I can just drag an App to the Trash, right click & send it to the Trash or use the "Uninstall" feature of an App that has one, but I have several music plugins (VST, AU etc) & even Toast 9 that I need to really remove from my system. I've tried just moving things to the Trash, but that doesn't remove everything. Many Apps don't have an 'Uninstall' feature on the Installation program, so what do I do?
    With Toast, I downloaded a program called Amnesia & used the demo version to remove it, but even though the App is gone from the Application Folder, it's not gone from my system, because when I right click on an ISO image, one of my choices of Apps to use is still Toast (no pun intended). I like Toast 9, but I thought I was updating my Toast 8 when I installed 9, but when I tried to use T9 (of course) it's asking me for my CD key, which (of course) I don't have.
    I appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks...

    *Uninstalling Applications*
    First, I suggest backing up your drive in case you uninstall something you shouldn't have uninstalled.
    Most small programs can have all their components contained within an app package. After running, the program will likely install a file in Preferences (either in your user area, or the main preferences, or both). Dragging a program and its preferences to the trash is often all that is needed, or you can use a program like AppDelete to delete these programs. However, most application deleting programs will not have an inventory of what is installed -- they just look for files that are clearly associated with the application you are deleting.
    Try to find files associated with the application you want to delete by using Spotlight, Finder, or [Easyfind|http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11076/easyfind] (free and generally highly recommended) to search for the application's name. Favorite folders for files to be installed are:
    /Applications/
    /Library/Preferences/
    /Users/YourName/Library/Application Support/
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences
    where YourName refers to the user name when you login and the / indicates the series of folders down from your main drive. Note that there are folders with identical names but in very different locations.
    A few programs may set login items to start automatically when your computer starts or a specific user logs in. These items are located in: /Library/StartupItems/ or /Users/YourName/Library/StartupItems/ To edit these, go to your account set up in System Preferences, login items tab, select the item(s) and a "-" to remove.
    More involved programs (e.g., Office) may install bits and pieces all over the place, like fonts, libraries, etc. The software installer may have an uninstall option, or there may be a separate uninstaller for these. In bad situations you have to hunt around yourself.
    Some programs install invisible files. You can use a utility such as Onyx to toggle visibility on your computer and check for invisible files.
    Sometimes programs install files (often hidden) not readily associated with the program and if you're worried about those the only thing to do is a scan before and after installing a program and see what has changed.
    Check out the utility [AppDelete|www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/appdelete.html]. It will remove simple applications and most of their associated files.

    I realized there was a super-easy solution to find the uninstall function to uninstall ProTools. i simply typed in uninstall protools in the internal search field (the one in the top right corner). Viola, there was the uninstall window and click, the software was gone. super easy!

  • How can I uninstall software

    how can I uninstall software

    If there's an uninstaller - most Adobe software, for instance, comes with an uninstaller - use it. While some will disagree (and others agree - it's your choice) I use AppCleaner (free) or AppDelete (paid) to get rid of apps and any auxiliary files that may be installed. I've never had a problem with either (and I'm not trying to start an arguement, either). I'll just say 'use at your own risk' and make sure that what the AppCleaner app finds to uninstall is truly something you want to be rid of.

  • How do i uninstall software from leopard???

    i figured out how to install software on a mac, but how do i uninstall it? in applications folder there are only the program launchers. there is no option to uninstall. i can only move it to trash!

    That's a good start. For the most part, just drag the application to the trash. Some applications come with uninstallers under "options" on the installer.
    The reason for this is that in Mac OS X most associated files are kept in the application package itself. If you choose any app then "control-click" on it, you can choose "Show package contents" from the contextual menu and you will see all the associated items.
    You can also do a Finder or Spotlight search for any other items but they will probably only be prefs which will do no harm and don't take up much room.
    These are ususally just plist files in yourHome/Library/Preferences . Also some apps will install files in ~(yourhome)/Library/Application Support.
    Note: Some apps may also put a file in /Library/Startup Items or SystemPreferences >> Accounts >> Login items. (So, it worth a look here too)

  • How do you uninstall software?  I have tried to download printer software that needs to be reinstalled and I cannot proceed until the original version is completely uninstalled.

    I have installed printer software that needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled and I keep getting an error message saying that the application is running and needs to be closed before proceeding.  I do not know how to close applications and uninstall software.  Any help????

    If its an actual application and appears as an icon in applications then click and hold over the icon and drag it to the trash can. That should uninstall it as far as I know.
    If its like the HP printer software then there is an uninstalled icon within the folder.
    Hope it helps.

  • Report ID94 specific software registered with Add or Remove Programs = requested software not listed

    Hi All,
    Our company uses SCCM 2007 and we don't really have an SCCM officer here. I kind of try to get things done by googling a lot but for this i can't find a a solution so i open a thread.
    I'm a newbie to SCCM 2007 so I don't know if i'm about to ask a dumb question but here I go.
    I'm trying to pull out a report for the count of computers that run a desktop version of our Ticketing Tool.
    I found the perfect standard report for this in SCCM 2007 which is: Count of instances of specific software registered with Add or Remove Programs.
    in there i have to set two values: 1) the software that i'm willing to count, 2) the collection in which to search.
    for value number 2 I have no problems.
    my problem is in value number 1. When I click the value button to list all known software, he lists all software in a alphabetic way. problem is that it stops at letter "I"... the software i'm looking for starts with an O so it's not listed.
    also if I type the software and then click Values... it replies that it couldn't find the software.
    am I doing something wrong?

    it sound like you are using the filter option with in the old and "crappy" ASP reports. first you should stop using then and only  use the SSRS reports. secondly the filter option will only show the first 1000 rows, there is a reg key to
    allow it to show more.

  • How come Java 8 is not listed in my plug-in checks and updates?

    I recently updated Java to Java 8, and when I clicked to do my plug-ins checks and updates, Java is not listed anywhere, whereas the old Java (Java 7 and Java deployment 7 update) were there and listed as needing an update. Is there a reason it isn't listed? Do I have to go to Java's site weekly to check for updates?

    Firefox is a 32 bit application, so you need to install the 32 bit Java version.
    Java 7U55 is still secure (i.e. no known security vulnerabilities), so if there aren't any issues with Java 7U51 then there is no need to update to Java 8 at this moment and you can wait til Java 8 becomes available via the automatic Java updater or via the java.com website.

  • How to change function keys not listed in keyboard preferences?

    Hi,
    I am trying to delete the f14 and f15 function keys which now set brightness. I want to use these for photoshop actions, but can't now. Also, shift/f12 opens the dock and I'd like to remove that as well. The keyboard pref. doesn't not list these are being set and I can't turn them off.
    Thanks -
    Stu

    I don't think Apple provides a simple way to change or override keyboard shortcuts that affect hardware functions like screen brightness, except in a limited way for laptops that have an FN key.
    The shifted versions of Dashboard & Expose shortcuts are among the weird little "eye candy" features of Tiger. Adding "shift" to the shortcut does the same thing as the unshifted version, but v..e..r..y s..l..o..w..l..y, at least on Macs that support advanced Quartz display features.
    As noted, you can change the shortcuts for Dashboard & Expose, but I'm not sure if the slow motion, 'shifted' forms are inherited by any other key combination besides the F9 through F12 ones.
    [Edit]:
    For a really weird effect, try holding down shift & tapping a random sequence of F9 through F12 strokes: because everything is slowed down, you can have several Expose effects occurring at once on the screen.
