The weird thing is if I plug anything into my USB port, memory stick, camera, anything it starts the HP printer software re-loading. Even if the pc is swiched off and on again without the printer connected.

I have tried to go back in my mind over when this happened and I cannot recall adding more software other than the camera. But why should plugging anyhting into the USB cause it to start a software re-load.

I do have a USB hub. Until I netowrk the printer or put it on bluetooth I have to move my PC to the printer as we only have one in the office. This is a new office.
