Me too! I tried it, and when I restart we’ll see if it works. Thank you!

Thanks for this. I expect that many will find this useful even if they don’t comment. And, it was the top listing in my Google search!

I followed your directions. After trashing the assistant, I restarted my computer. The assistant STILL opened up!!!!!!!! I opened the HP folder and it is no longer there. So, why and HOW is it still opening?????

Thanks for posting this. Yes, I also had this problem. My problem started because I was installing the printer as a network printer, as my flatmate had his printer shared via his desktop. I had manually set up the printer using the Add Printer Mac OS X interface, installing using the CD only to get the drivers installed. The printer was successfully added, working, and online for me. Next time I rebooted this "assistant" came up and it was too stupid to know I had the printer added already via the share. After a few weeks of the thing driving me crazy, I tried to get it to go away by simply plugging the printer directly into my laptop... nothing.

Thanks Again! j-
