HP Deskjet printer buying guide

Here’s what’s running in my task manager.

I want the printer to print, the scanner to scan. I can update the printer myself. I want as few programs running in the background as possible.
In Programs and Features (I have vista) there is HP Customer Participation 8.0, HP Deskjet F4200 All-in-One Driver Software 11.0 Rel. .3, HP Driver Diagnostics, HP Imaging Device Functions 11.0, HP OCR Software 8.0, HP Photosmart essential, HP Photosmart esential 3.0, Hp Photosmart, Officejet, PSC and Deskjet Driver Software 8.0, HP Print Diagnostic Utility, HP Product detection, Hp smart web printing, hp solution center 11.0, hp update, hpssupply.
Note: I used to have an HP PSC printer.

go to the HP website and make sure you have the latest drivers that are compatible with your OS.

It’s working fine ,BUT i have discovered my Acrobat Adobe 8. is now being disallowed and Acrobat Adobe 5. is only allowed , how can i change this back as i now am unable to download lots of attachments.

When i try to acess the web or any other program it keeps trying to configure although it is already fully loaded and works fine. Its keeps asking me to incert the disk, when i do this nothing happens. Its really anoying as it will do it when your in the middle of a program for no reason. How do i stop this happening. i tried un-installing and installing from scratch but it continues. Its driving me crazy

I can hardly read the print and if there is any fine print forget it. Can I make it larger?
