Uninstalling the Windows Print Scout

The process of uninstalling the Print Scout is different for print servers and client workstations; both processes are described below. When you uninstall the Print Scout, it sends a notification to HP Secure Print server and the Scout State property is updated to Uninstalled.

Note: By default, the Print Scout will leave its configuration data and log files in case you choose to re-install it at a later date. You can fully remove the Print Scout by deleting the following folder: C:\ProgramData\HP\PrintScout .

Uninstalling the Print Scout from Client Workstations
