    I have a bunch of unused drivers and services from my previous installations of HP printer drivers. How can I remove those?

    Press Windows+R, then type in printmanagement.msc.
    Remove drivers found there.
    I'm guessing you have done the add/remove programs thing already?

    I use DriverSweeper whenever I upgrade video card drivers, it gets rid of the old drivers pretty easily.
